Phospholipase Activators

Phospholipases are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze phospholipids into fatty acids and other lipophilic molecules. There are four major classes of phospholipases; phospholipase A (PLA) (E.C. 3.1.1.4), phospholipase B (E.C. 3.1.1.5), phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) (E.C. 3.1.4.11) and phospholipase D (PLD) (E.C. 3.1.4.50).

PLA is subdivided into PLA₁ which cleave phospholipids at the sn-1 ester bond and PLA₂, which cleave at the sn-2 bond. Their most common substrate is ...
