Relatively highly potent phospholipase A2 that displays potent antimicrobial and hemolytic activities. It does not show cytotoxic effects on the three human cell lines tested. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. It shows similar potencies on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria: B.cereus (MIC>9 ug/ml), B.subtilis (MIC>12 ug/ml), E.faecalis (MIC>7 ug/ml), S.epidermidis (MIC>12 ug/ml), S.aureux (MIC>5 ug/ml), E.coli (MIC>7 ug/ml), K.pneumonia (MIC>8 ug/ml), P.aeruginosa (MIC>10 ug/ml), and S.enteric (MIC>9 ug/ml). It also shows antifungal activities: A.niger (MIC>15 ug/ml), B.cinerea (MIC>12 ug/ml), F.solani (MIC>15 ug/ml), and P.digitatum (MIC>10 ug/ml). a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+) Enzymatic activity is diminished by Cd(2+) and Hg(2+). Optimum pH is 8.5. Optimum temperature is 45 degrees Celsius. Homodimer. Expressed by the venom gland. Glycosylated. Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group I subfamily.
