    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a phospholipase receptor
  • presence on neutrophils and having role in elastase release and adhesion (Silliman 2002)
  • regulates a variety of biological responses elicited by secretory phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s) (Hanasaki 2004)
  • potential new tumour suppressor gene crucial in the induction of cellular senescence through the activation of the TP53 pathway (Augert 2009)
  • genetically modifying the expression has an important impact on the senescence of primary cells (Augert 2009)
  • could regulate senescence by controlling the production of cytokines, as is able to regulate cytokines (cytokines are involved in senescence outcome) and is a new crucial regulator of senescence in human primary cells (Augert 2009)
