Description

C16-PAF (PAF (C16)), a phospholipid mediator, is a platelet-activating factor and ligand for PAF G-protein-coupled receptor (PAFR). C16-PAF exhibits anti-apoptotic effect and inhibits caspase-dependent death by activating the PAFR. C16-PAF is a potent MAPK and MEK/ERK activator. C16-PAF induces increased vascular permeability.

How to use

In Vitro:

C16-PAF (PAF (C16); 0.5-1.5 μM; for 24 hours) elicits significant concentration-dependent neuronal loss in PAFR−/− but not PAFR+/+ cultures. C16-PAF (1 μM) elicits neuronal death in PAFR−/− cells infected with EGFP alone. C16-PAF (1 μM; for 24 hours) activates caspase 7 but not caspase 3 in PAFR−/− neurons. C16-PAF is synthesized by two distinct pathways; the remodeling pathway and the de novo synthesis pathway. C16-PAF acts by binding to a unique G-protein-coupled seven transmembrane receptor. C16-PAF (1-25 μg/ml; 6, 12, 24 h) inhibits M. smegmatis and M. bovis BCG growth in a time-dependent manner.
