    The release of arachidonic acid (AA) from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A
    2
    (PLA
    2
    ) is a critical step in the generation of lipid mediators by mast cells. AA released by PLA
    2
    activity is metabolized to bioactive compounds, such as prostaglandins, thromboxane, and leukotrienes. During the last decade, several mammalian PLA2s have been shown to play a role in the mobilization of AA from phospholipids. At least ten different PLA
    2
    types have been described (

    ). In general, these consist of secretory, cytosolic, or membrane bound activities.
