Phospholipase

Phospholipases are enzymes which phospholipids into fatty acids and other lipophilic substances columns. There are four major classes of phospholipases, which are designated A, B, C and D

• Phospholipase A Phospholipase A1: splits an unsaturated fatty acid at its ester bond at the C1 atom
• Phospholipase A2: splits an unsaturated fatty acid at its ester bond at the C2 atom
