Metabolite Identification
Common NamePlatelet-activating factor
DescriptionPlatelet-activating factor, also known as PAF and PC(O-16:0/2:0), is a ubiquitous, potent phospholipid activator and mediator of inflammation that has an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders and cardiovascular disease. PAF is able to cause platelet aggregation and anaphylaxis. PAF is synthesized continuously in low quantities in many different types of cells, but especially those involved in host defence, such as macrophages, monocytes, granulocytes, neutrophils, platelets, and endothelial cells. Platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) located on the cell membranes of a variety of cells. Once bound to its receptor, PAF mobilizes calcium and activates a wide range of signalling pathways (e.g. phospholipase C-mediated signalling (PMID: 26616844 ).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-alkyl,2-acetylglycero-3-phosphocholines. These are glycerophosphocholines that carry exactly one acetyl chain attached to the glycerol moiety through an ester linkage at the O2-position, and one alkyl chain attached through an ether linkage at the O1-position.
