Although the secreted phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2) family has been generally thought to
participate in pathologic events such as inflammation and atherosclerosis, relatively high
and constitutive expression of group X sPLA 2 (sPLA 2-X) in restricted sites such as
reproductive organs, the gastrointestinal tract, and peripheral neurons raises a question as
to the roles played by this enzyme in the physiology of reproduction, digestion, and the
nervous system. Herein we used mice with gene disruption or transgenic overexpression of …
