Background Information

PAFAH(platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, plasma) is also named as PLA2G7(phospholipase A2, group VII), Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2), LDL-PLA2, LDL-PLA and belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily and lipase family. It is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetyl ester at the sn-2 position of PAF. The family of PAF-Ahs consists of two intracellular isoforms (Ib and II), and one secreted isoform (plasma). Plasma PAF-AH is a monomeric polypeptide with a molecular weight of 45 kDa and it can show broad bands with a molecular weight of 43-67 kDa that it can be extensively N-glycosylated(PMID:12547653). Defects in PLA2G7 are the cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency (PAFAD), susceptibility to asthma (ASTHMA), susceptibility to atopic hypersensitivity (ATOPY).

I used this PAFAH antibody at a range of different dilutions from 1:300 to 1:1000 but unfortunately I could not detect any bands from this antibody when I used lysed mouse blood. The loading controls which were also from Proteintech produced strong clear bands on the western blot.

• Applications: Western Blot
• Primary Antibody Dilution: 1:300
• Cell Tissue Type: Lysed mouse blood
