Identification of four secretory phospholipase A2s in a lepidopteran insect, Acrolepiopsis sapporensis, and their functional association with cellular immune responses

BackgroundEicosanoids are a group of the oxygenated C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids and play crucial roles in mediating various insect physiological processes. Catalytic activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) provides an initial substrate, arachidonic acid (AA), for subsequent eicosanoid biosynthesis.R...
