In addition to its ability to form complexes with acetylcholine receptors, atropine can also complex with phospholipase A2. Phospholipase A2 is a category of heat-stable enzymes which are involved in cell signaling processes, such as the inflammatory response <ref>Kumar, Jainendra; Bala, Priti; Vihwal, Preeti. ''Analysis of Interaction of atropine with phospholipase A2 (1th6.pdb)''. Department of Botany and Biotechnlogy, College of Commerce, Patna, India.</ref>. Phospholipase 2A is an upstream regulator of inflammatory processes, and more specifically, it recognizes the sn-2 acyl bond of phospholipids and catalytically hydrolyzes the bond releasing lysophospholipids <ref> Phospholipase A2. http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Phospholipase_A2 <ref/>. | In addition to its ability to form complexes with acetylcholine receptors, atropine can also complex with phospholipase A2.
