Abstract excerpt
The platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor couples with multiple signaling pathways such as activation of phospholipase C, phospholipase A2, and mitogen-activated protein kinase and the inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The PAF-induced signals are attenuated by repetitive or long standing applications of the agonist (homologous desensitization). To investigate mechanisms underlying the agonist-induced...
