Gene information for PAFAH1B1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5048
Official gene symbolPAFAH1B1
Full nameplatelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b, regulatory subunit 1 (45kDa)
Aliases,LIS1,LIS2,MDCR,MDS,PAFAH,
Gene summaryThis locus was identified as encoding a gene that when mutated or lost caused the lissencephaly associated with Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome. This gene encodes the non-catalytic alpha subunit of the intracellular Ib isoform of platelet-activating factor acteylhydrolase, a heterotrimeric enzyme that specifically catalyzes the removal of the acetyl group at the SN-2 position of platelet-activating factor (identified as 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine). Two other isoforms of intracellular platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase exist: one composed of multiple subunits, the other, a single subunit. In addition, a single-subunit isoform of this enzyme is found in serum. [provided by RefSeq]
