Comment typeDescription
Catalytic Activity1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H(2)O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate.
FunctionCatalyzes transacetylation of the acetyl group from platelet-activating factor (PAF) to lysoplasmalogen and to sphingosine, producing plasmalogen analogs of PAF and N- acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide) respectively. Also acts as a PAF- acetylhydrolase in the absence of lipid acceptor molecules
SimilarityBelongs to the serine esterase family
