Phospholipase A(1) (PLA(1)) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phospholipids and produces 2-acyl-lysophospholipids and fatty acids and is conserved in a wide range of organisms. Included in this family are Vespid venom allergen phospholipase A1. Vespid phospholipase A1 (vPLA1) is one of the primary venom components with local inflammatory effects. In addition to causing allergic reactions, vPLA1 can hydrolyze the sn-1 fatty acids in phospholipids and convert them into their corresponding lyso compounds. vPLA1 may disrupt the phospholipid packing of biological membranes, causing severe hemolysis and leading to cardiac dysfunction and death in animals
