The group X secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-X) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are enzymes involved in biosynthesis of prostaglandins, a potent mediator of inflammation. The sPLA2-X hydrolysed membrane phospholipids to arachidonic acid and further converted into prostaglandins by COX-2. Previous studi...
