Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate. [EC:3.1.1.47]
phospholipid bindingmolecular functionBinding to a phospholipid, a class of lipids containing phosphoric acid as a mono- or diester. [ISBN:0198506732]
hydrolase activity, acting on ester bondsmolecular functionCatalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond. [GOC:jl]
calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate. This reaction does not require Ca2+. [EC:3.1.1.4]

Located In

This protein is located in 1 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
extracellular regioncellular componentThe space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. [GOC:go_curators]

Part Of

This protein is part of 2 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
low-density lipoprotein particlecellular componentA lipoprotein particle, rich in cholesterol esters and low in triglycerides that is typically composed of APOB100 and APOE and has a density of 1.02-1.06 g/ml and a diameter of between 20-25 nm. LDL particles are formed from VLDL particles (via IDL) by the loss of triglyceride and gain of cholesterol ester. They transport endogenous cholesterol (and to some extent triglycerides) from peripheral tissues back to the liver. [GOC:BHF, GOC:expert_pt, GOC:mah, GOC:rl]
high-density lipoprotein particlecellular componentA lipoprotein particle with a high density (typically 1.063-1.21 g/ml) and a diameter of 5-10 nm that contains APOAs and may contain APOCs and APOE; found in blood and carries lipids from body tissues to the liver as part of the reverse cholesterol transport process. [GOC:BHF, GOC:expert_pt, GOC:mah, GOC:pde, GOC:rl]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 9 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
peptide hormone processingbiological processThe generation of a mature peptide hormone by posttranslational processing of a prohormone. [GOC:mah]
low-density lipoprotein particle remodelingbiological processThe acquisition, loss or modification of a protein or lipid within a low-density lipoprotein particle, including the hydrolysis of triglyceride by hepatic lipase, with the subsequent loss of free fatty acid, and the transfer of cholesterol esters from LDL to a triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particle by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), with the simultaneous transfer of triglyceride to LDL. [GOC:BHF, GOC:expert_pt, GOC:mah, GOC:rl]
lipid oxidationbiological processThe removal of one or more electrons from a lipid, with or without the concomitant removal of a proton or protons, by reaction with an electron-accepting substance, by addition of oxygen or by removal of hydrogen. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah]
plasma lipoprotein particle oxidationbiological processThe modification of a lipid or protein within a plasma lipoprotein particle by oxidation of the lipid or one or more amino acids. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah]
phosphatidylcholine catabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of phosphatidylcholines, any of a class of glycerophospholipids in which the phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of choline. [GOC:jp]
platelet activating factor metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving platelet activating factor, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphocholine, where alkyl = hexadecyl or octadecyl. Platelet activating factor is an inflammatory mediator released from a variety of cells in response to various stimuli. [ISBN:0198547684]
