Function | Lipoprotein-associated calcium-independent phospholipase A2 involved in phospholipid catabolism during inflammatory and oxidative stress response (PubMed:10066756, PubMed:16371369, PubMed:17090529, PubMed:2040620, PubMed:7700381, PubMed:8624782). At the lipid-aqueous interface, hydrolyzes the ester bond of fatty acyl group attached at sn-2 position of phospholipids (phospholipase A2 activity) (PubMed:10504265, PubMed:2040620). Specifically targets phospholipids with a short-chain fatty acyl group at sn-2 position (PubMed:2040620). Can hydrolyze phospholipids with long fatty acyl chains, only if they carry oxidized functional groups (PubMed:2040620, PubMed:8624782). Hydrolyzes and inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl- 2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), a potent pro-inflammatory signaling lipid that acts through PTAFR on various innate immune cells (PubMed:10066756, PubMed:10504265, PubMed:11590221, PubMed:16371369, PubMed:18434304, PubMed:7592717, PubMed:7700381, PubMed:8624782, PubMed:8675689). Hydrolyzes oxidatively truncated phospholipids carrying an aldehyde group at omega position, preventing their accumulation in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles and uncontrolled pro-inflammatory effects (PubMed:2040620, PubMed:7700381). As part of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, can hydrolyze phospholipids having long-chain fatty acyl hydroperoxides at sn-2 position and protect against potential accumulation of these oxylipins in the vascular wall (PubMed:17090529). Catalyzes the release from membrane phospholipids of F2-isoprostanes, lipid biomarkers of cellular oxidative damage (PubMed:16371369). |
Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space Note=Associates with both LDL and HDL particles in plasma (PubMed:10066756, PubMed:11590221, PubMed:12821559, PubMed:18434304) Mainly associates with pro-inflammatory electronegative LDL particles (PubMed:12821559). |
Tissue Location | Plasma (PubMed:11590221, PubMed:12821559). Secreted by macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:11590221) |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency.
