Enables calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity and histone acetyltransferase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of prostaglandin biosynthetic process; reproductive structure development; and surfactant homeostasis. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and zymogen granule. Used to study hyperglycemia. Biomarker of asthma; brain ischemia; papilloma; polycystic kidney disease; and transitional cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PLA2G4A (phospholipase A2 group IVA).
