(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5724
Official gene symbolPTAFR
Full nameplatelet-activating factor receptor
Aliases,PAFR,
Gene summaryPTAFR shows structural characteristics of the rhodopsin (MIM 180380) gene family and binds platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF is a phospholipid (1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) that has been implicated as a mediator in diverse pathologic processes, such as allergy, asthma, septic shock, arterial thrombosis, and inflammatory processes.[supplied by OMIM]
