RL   Toxicon 28:616-617(1990).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that inhibits
CC       neuromuscular transmission by blocking acetylcholine release from the
CC       nerve termini. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the
CC       2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn-
CC         glycero-3-phosphocholine + a fatty acid + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15801,

CC         ProRule:PRU10036};
CC   -!- COFACTOR:
CC       Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
CC       Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion. {ECO:0000250};
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group I subfamily.
