General description

C16-02:0 PC, also known as 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C16 PAF) (acetyl PAF), is a platelet-activating factor (PAF). Acetyl PAF is present in the body and it contains 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, a platelet-activating factor (PAF) is used as a substrate for the determination of platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity in plasma or serum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a pro-inflammatory agent that exhibits variety of biological and pharmacological effects. It plays a major role in initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. PAF acts as a potential biomarker for coronary artery diseases. It yields LysoPAF (1-O-alkyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) on hydrolysis by platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase.

Measurement of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) can be used as an adjunct to traditional cardiovascular risk factors for identifying individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular events. This can be performed by quantification of the protein concentration using an ELISA platform
