Group III PLA2 from the scorpion, Mesobuthus tamulus: cloning and recombinant expression in E. coli

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are enzymes that specifically hydrolyze the sn-2 fatty acid acyl bond of phospholipids, producing a free fatty acid and a lyso-phospholipid. We report the cloning and expression of a secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) from Mesobuthus tamulus, Indian red scorpion. The nucleot...
