Aliases | | ,LDL-PLA2,LP-PLA2,PAFAH, |
Gene summary | | The 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. |
