title: Role of calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in the regulation of calcium influx into Jurkat cells.
abstract: The role of phospholipases A2 in calcium metabolism is briefly reviewed. Some data are presented indicating that calcium-independent phospholipase A2 may modify the activity of store-activated calcium channels in the plasma membrane of Jurkat cells. Helss, a specific inhibitor of calcium-independent phospholipase A2 blocks the store-operated signal that is transmitted from ER to the plasma membrane.
