Cartoon representation that depicts reported cellular localizations of cPLA2, iPLA2, and sPLA2. cPLA2 translocates to the perinuclear membranes including the Golgi. iPLA2 was found in the cytosol and was also found associated with mitochondria and may have different functions/localizations in different cells. sPLA2 was found to be secreted where it may act on cells or may be internalized and act intracellularly. Extracellularly, sPLA2 was found to act on extracellular phospholipids such as microvesicles/exosomes, surfactants, lipoproteins, and bacterial membranes. AA is an abbreviation for arachidonic acid. S/U FAs is an abbreviation for saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
