3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Catalyzes the hydrolyze of the acetyl group at the sn-2 position of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and its analogs, leading to their inactivation (PMID: 10085103). Hydrolyzes propionyl and butyroyl moieties approximately half as effectively as PAF (By similarity). Also catalyzes transacetylation of the acetyl group from platelet-activating factor (PAF) to lysoplasmalogen and to sphingosine, producing plasmalogen analogs of PAF and N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide) respectively (PMID: 10085103). Has a marked selectivity for phospholipids with short acyl chains at the sn-2 position (PMID: 10085103).
