Group IIC secretory phospholipase A2 (Pla2g2c)

PA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2- acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Testis PA2 might be important in the production of prostaglandins, by the release of arachidonic acid, which in turn are essential for the contractions of the seminiferous tubules and the testicular capsule; they also appear to decrease sperm transit time through the male reproductive tract.
