Regulating inflammation through the anti-inflammatory enzyme platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is one of the most potent lipid mediators involved in inflammatory events. The acetyl group at the sn-2 position of its glycerol backbone is essential for its biological activity. Deacetylation induces the formation of the inactive metabolite lyso-PAF. This deacetyla...
