DCPLA-ME (Cat No.:I018291) is a selective activator of Ca²⁺-independent phospholipase A₂ (iPLA₂). By stimulating iPLA₂ activity, DCPLA-ME promotes hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids, leading to the release of arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids, which are critical mediators in lipid signaling. This compound is widely used in studies of neuronal signaling, apoptosis, and metabolic pathways where iPLA₂ plays a regulatory role. DCPLA-ME is valuable for dissecting lipid metabolism and evaluating therapeutic strategies in inflammation, neurodegenerative disease, and cardiovascular research.
