Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that has antibacterial activity against S.aureus ATCC 25923 and ATCC 29213, acts by inducing bacterial membrane breakage. Displays a potent inhibitory effect on collagen-induced human platelet aggregation and has indirect hemolytic activity. Does not show cytotoxicity to murine skeletal muscle myoblasts. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. 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. Expressed by the venom gland. The determined pI of this protein is: 4.6. Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily.
