Distribution of immunoreactive pancreatic phospholipase A2 (IPPL-2) in various human tissues.
Immunoreactive pancreatic phospholipase A2 exists in various human tissues other than the pancreas. Considerable amounts were detected in the lung, stomach, small intestine and kidney. Immunoreactive pancreatic phospholipase A2 in extra-pancreatic tissues was not accompanied by proportional phospholipase A2 activity in contrast to that in the pancreas.
