    basic FUNCTION
  • inactivator of PAF, by removing the acetyl group at the SN-2 position
  • plays an important role during the development of brain
  • potent regulator of platelet activating factor activity, plays an important role in various physiological and pathophysiological functions including development, reproduction, inflammation, hemostasis, and apoptosis
  • PAFAh1B2 and PAFAH1B3 have profoundly different effects on brain development and interact in a significantly different manner with the Reelin signaling pathway
  • antagonistic effect of PAFAH1B2, PAFAH1B3 and NDEL1 for PAFAH1B1 binding, probably to modulate dynein functions
  • PAFAH1B2 and PAFAH1B3 expression levels affect the distribution of endosomes within the cell through interactions with the dynein regulator PAFAH1B1
  • PAFAH Ib regulates endocytic membrane trafficking through novel mechanisms involving both PLA(2) activity and PAFAH1B1-dependent dynein function

    a component
  • formed of three subunits of 45 kDa (alpha), 30 kDa (beta) and 29kDa (gamma)
  • PAFAH1B catalytic subunit
  • tetramer of two catalytic subunits, ALPHA1 (PAFAH1B3) and ALPHA2 (PAFAH1B2), and a regulatory dimer of LIS1 (PAFAH1B1)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds the Reelin receptor VLDLR
  • PAFAH1B3 and PAFAH1B2, were able to compete against NDEL1 and dynein for PAFAH1B1 binding in a dose-dependent manner (
