PAF

Extracellular signaling lipid; ligand for G protein-coupled platelet activating factor (PAF) receptors. Induces inflammation by increasing vascular permeability; activates MAP kinase (MAPK) and MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK) in CHO cells. PAF is a substrate for lysophospholipase II and for PAF-Acetyl hydrolase
