Abstract
Serum from numerous mammals and lower vertebrates contains an enzyme activity that is specific for the hydrolysis of the acetate moiety of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF, platelet activating factor). Acetylhydrolase (EC 3.1.1.47, 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetylhydrolase) was found in all mammalian sera with activity ranging from 11 (fetal calf) to 178 (rabbit) pmol acetate liberated/microliter serum/min. The enzyme is not present in avian serum but is a constituent of reptiles and bony fishes.Entities:
