PAFAH1B2 Gene

platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b, catalytic subunit 2 (30kDa)

Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAFAH) inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF) into acetate and LYSO-PAF. This gene encodes the beta subunit of PAFAH, the other subunits are alpha and gamma. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.
