Active Phospholipase A2 Group VII (LpPLA2)

Figure. The binding activity of LpPLA2 with PTPRN.
Phospholipase A2, Lipoprotein Associated (LpPLA2) also known as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase A2 enzyme. LpPLA2 is platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase, a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of PAF to inactive products by hydrolysis of the acetyl group at the sn-2 position, producing the biologically inactive products LYSO-PAF and acetate. Besides, Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type N (PTPRN) has been identified as an interactor of LpPLA2, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human LpPLA2 and recombinant human PTPRN. Briefly, LpPLA2 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to PTPRN-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37℃. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-LpPLA2 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37℃. Finally, add 50µL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of LpPLA2 and PTPRN was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.
