This non-toxic acidic phospholipase A2 hydrolyzes monolayers of different short chain phospholipids (PubMed:2402760). It exhibits anticoagulant effects upon human plasma in vitro (PubMed:30239061). PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides (PubMed:2402760). a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+) Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion. Monomer. Expressed by the venom gland. Is non-lethal to mice up to a dose as high as 25 mg/kg by intraperitoneal and intravenous injection. Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily. D49 sub-subfamily.
