CC   -!- FUNCTION: PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl
CC       groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn-
CC         glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15801,
