This review provides a short summary of the biological actions of sPLA(2)-IIA on intracellular signaling pathways.engreview articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0014-5793(02)03401-4https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/S0014-5793%2802%2903401-4restricted access611.081.1612astrocyteatherosclerosisinflammationlipid mediatorBiología celular (Biología)CardiologíaFisiología2410.10 Fisiología Humana
