Fluorescent phospholipase assay, phospholipase A2 inhibitor and stimulator, and the use thereof

摘要

A fluorescent phospholipase assay is disclosed. Further disclosed are the identification of alpha-1-antitrypsin as a phospholipase A₂ stimulator and phospholipase C inhibitor and the identification of mercaptalbumin as a phospholipase A₂ inhibitor. Various applications involving the use of the phospholipase assay, alpha-1-antitrypsin and mercaptalbumin are also disclosed.
