Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase; also known as 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase; 2-acetyl-1-alkylglycero-phosphocholine esterase; Group-VIIA phospholipase A2; LDL-associated phospholipase A2; PAF 2-acylhydrolase; PLA2G7 and PAFAH; is secreted protein which belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily and Lipase family. PLA2G7 / PAFAH modulates the action of platelet-activating factor (PAF) by hydrolyzing the sn-2 ester bond to yield the biologically inactive lyso-PAF. It has a specificity for substrates with a short residue at the sn-2 position. It is inactive against long-chain phospholipids. PLA2G7 / PAFAH is a potent pro- and anti-inflammatory molecule that has been implicated in multiple inflammatory disease processes; including cardiovascular disease. PLA2G7 also represents an important; potentially functional candidate in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). Defects in PLA2G7 are the cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency (PLA2G7 deficiency). It is a trait which is present in 27% of Japanese. It could have a significant physiologic effect in the presence of inflammatory bodily responses.
