Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid produced by a variety of cells including platelets, endothelial cells, neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. It has a wide range of potent biological activities including wound healing, physiological inflammation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, reproduction and long-term potentiation.

The role of platelet-activating factor in platelet aggregation
Nature, 1979PLATELET aggregation is mediated by at least three distinct mechanisms1,2. The first involves the release of ADP and is inhibited by its conversion to ATP by the combination of creatine phosphate and creatine phosphokinase (CP/CPK). The second is mediated by metabolites of arachidonic acid, particularly thromboxane A2 (TXA2), and is blocked by aspirin ...

Platelet Activating Factor (PAF): A Mediator of Inflammation
Biofactors, 2022Platelet‐activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid‐derived mediator with an established role in multiple inflammatory states. PAF is synthesized and secreted by multiple cell types and is then rapidly hydrolyzed and degraded to an inactive metabolite ...

COVID‐19, microthromboses, inflammation, and platelet activating factor
Biofactors, 2020Recent articles report elevated markers of coagulation, endothelial injury, and microthromboses in lungs from deceased COVID‐19 patients. However, there has been no discussion of what may induce intravascular coagulation.

Platelet-activating factor receptor
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002Platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a biologically active phospholipid mediator. Although PAF was named for its potential to induce platelet aggregation, intense investigations have elucidated potent biological actions of PAF in a broad range of cell types and tissues.

Radioimmunoassay for platelet‐activating factor
Lipids, 1991AbstractA radioimmunoassay (RIA) for measurement of platelet‐activating factor (PAF) was developed. At a final antiserum dilution of 1∶640, the lowest detection limit of PAF was 0.1 pmol (50 pg). The standard curve obtained was suitable for measurement of PAF in amounts ranging from 0.1 pmol to 30 pmol. The antiserum showed high specificity.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent mediator that occurs at very low concentrations in cells and tissues. Accurate quantitation of PAF has always been difficult because of the physicochemical properties of PAF and its structural similarity to several much more abundant phospholipids.

Hospital Practice, 1983
Our ability to chemically characterize and synthesize this autacoid of allergy and inflammation has given us a unique opportunity to study these important molecules in a highly disciplined fashion. It has also opened the door to a vista of research approaches to define PAF's normal physiologic role as well as its actions as an immunopathologic mediator.

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a proinflammatory lipid. It has been strongly implicated in the regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion and in the local and systemic events which occur in acute pancreatitis. PAF antagonists, when given as pretreatment, ameliorate the severity of experimental acute pancreatitis by reducing serum amylase ...

Platelet-Activating Factor and Angiogenesis
1996Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid autacoid with a spectrum of diverse and potent biological properties relevant for the development of inflammatory reaction and septic shock1. Recently, PAF has been also implicated in the embryogenesis and cell differentiation2,3. Researchers believe that PAF is a mediator of cell to cell communication
