• Cytosolic phospholipases A2 (cPLA2): The intracellular PLA2 are also Ca-dependent, but they have completely different 3D structure and significantly larger than secreted PLA2 (more than 700 residues). They include C2 domain and large catalytic domain. These phospholipases are involved in cell signaling processes, such as inflammatory response. The produced Arachidonic acid is both a signaling molecule and the precursor for other signalling molecules termed eicosanoids. These include leukotrienes and prostaglandins. Some eicosanoids are synthesized from diacylglycerol, released from the lipid bilayer by phospholipase C (see below). Phospholipases A2 can be classified based on sequence homology.PLA2G4A, the cytosolic phospholipase A2, appears to subserve transmembrane signaling responses to extracellular ligands
