General description

C17 Lyso PAF, also known as 1-O-heptadecyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a precursor and metabolite of 1-O-heptadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C17:0 PAF). Lyso-platelet activating factor (PAF) is synthesized from PAF acetylhydrolases by the degradation of PAF. It is also synthesized from 1-O-alkyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (1-alkyl-phosphatidylcholine; PC) by the enzyme phospholipase A2 via the remodeling pathway.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent proinflammatory lipid mediator eliciting a variety of cellular functions. Lipid mediators, including PAF are produced from membrane phospholipids by enzymatic cascades. Although a G protein-coupled PAF receptor and degradation enzymes have been cloned and
