General description

C16-02:0 PC, also referred as 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C16 PAF) (acetyl PAF), is a platelet-activating factor (PAF). Acetyl PAF is a natural PAF with ether-linked hexadecyl chain at the sn-1 position and an acetyl group at the sn-2 position.

Application

C16-02:0 PC or 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine may be used as a substrate in enzymatic lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity assay. It may also be used to study its physicochemical properties and its interaction with peptides derived from the C-terminal domains of human apolipoprotein E.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C16-02:0 PC, a platelet-activating factor and a lipid mediator is involved in various inflammatory diseases. It facilitates initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. PAF acts as a potential biomarker for coronary artery diseases. It exhibits its activity by binding to a specific PAF receptor, which belongs to the seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-linked receptors family. PAF on hydrolysis by platelet-activating factor-acetyl hydrolase produces LysoPAF (1-O-alkyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine).
