Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that induces inflammatory response, with local edema and release of cytokines IL-1 alpha, IL-6 and TNF-alpha (PubMed:29124136). Does not exhibit myotoxic, anticoagulant and antibacterial effects (PubMed:29124136). Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be due to mast cell degranulation, and edema may be induced by arachidonic acid that results from the PLA2 catalytic activity (PubMed:29124136). PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides (PubMed:29124136). 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. Partially inhibited by magnesium ions and completely inhibited by zinc ions These divalent cations may act as competitive antagonists of the cofactor. Optimum pH is 8.0. Optimum temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. Expressed by the venom gland. Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily. D49 sub-subfamily.
