Lipoprotein-associated

PAF acetylhydrolases
.

Function

In the blood Lp-PLA2 travels mainly with

inflammatory cells and hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids
in LDL.

Lp-PLA2 is platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase (EC 3.1.1.47), a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of PAF to inactive products by hydrolysis of the acetyl group at the sn-2 position, producing the biologically inactive products LYSO-PAF and acetate.[9]

Clinical significance

Lp-PLA2 is involved in the development of

intima bound to LDL (from the circulation), and that which is synthesized de novo by plaque inflammatory cells (macrophages
, T cells, mast cells)."

It is used as a marker for cardiac disease.[10]

A

coronary heart disease and stroke.[11]
