Additional info: | AF-AH catalyzes the hydrolysis of the acetyl group at the sn-2 position of PAF to yield lyso-PAF and acetate, thereby inactivating PAF. Two main types of PAF-AH have been characterized, namely secreted (i.e., plasma) and intracellular enzymes, which are encoded on individual genes and share only 41% homology at the amino acid level. Plasma PAF-AH is a 45.4 kDa enzyme which is associated with the LDL fraction of plasma. |
