| UniProt functional annotation for P00630 | |||
| UniProt code: P00630. |
| Organism: | Apis mellifera (Honeybee). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Hymenoptera; Apocrita; Aculeata; Apoidea; Apidae; Apis. | |
| Function: | PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15801, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:28868, ChEBI:CHEBI:57643, ChEBI:CHEBI:58168; EC=3.1.1.4; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10035}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:2274788}; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:2274788}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Ptm: | N-glycosylated; contains mannose, N-acetylglucosamine and fucose alphal-6 and/or alphal-3 linked to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8504812}. | |
| Allergen: | Causes an allergic reaction in human. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The secretion of this protein into venom follows a seasonal pattern. This variation is synchronized with melittin variation, i.e. their production increase in the same months. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group III subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
