abstract：:In response to Ca(2+) signaling, cytosolic phospholipase A(2)alpha (cPLA(2)alpha) translocates from the cytosol to the perinuclear membrane, where downstream eicosanoid-synthetic enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase (COX), are localized. Although the spatiotemporal perinuclear colocalization of cPLA(2)alpha and COXs has be...
