Gene information for PLA2G7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7941
Official gene symbolPLA2G7
Full namephospholipase A2, group VII (platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, plasma)
Aliases,LDL-PLA2,LP-PLA2,PAFAH,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
