Abstract excerpt
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent proinflammatory phospholipid mediator that elicits various cellular functions and promotes several pathological events, including anaphylaxis and neuropathic pain. PAF is biosynthesized by two types of lyso-PAF acetyltransferases: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) and LPCAT2, which are constitutive and inducible forms of lyso-PAF acetyltransferase,...
