Chemical compound and disease context of PLA2G7

 

Biological context of PLA2G7

  • The plasma PAFAH gene (PLA2G7) is located on chromosome 6p [16].
  • We investigated the association of the PLA2G7 A379V variant with changes in body composition in a longitudinal study of 123 male Caucasian army recruits over 10 weeks of intensive physical training [17].
  • Our aim was to look for further PAFAH variants in white populations, their possible association with atopic and asthmatic phenotypes, and their functional importance [18].
  • Its gamma-subunit (which, formerly, we called the 29-kDa subunit) acts as a catalytic subunit, whereas the alpha-subunit (45 kDa) is the bovine homolog of the product of human LIS-1, the causative gene of Miller-Dieker lissencephaly, indicating that this intracellular PAF acetylhydrolase plays a key role in brain development [2].
  • Plasma PAF acetylhydrolase activity was higher in patients than in control subjects, in normal subjects, or patients with a heterozygous genotype [19].

Associations of PLA2G7 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of PLA2G7

 

Regulatory relationships of PLA2G7

  • We show evidence that both PAF acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) and transacetylase activities are inhibited to the same extent by serine esterase inhibitors, are resistant to heat treatment, and exhibit identical distributions in lipoprotein classes and in LDL subfractions [28].
  • These results indicate the PAF acetylhydrolase gene mutation may influence the degree of proteinuria and the extent of mesangial proliferation in the early stage of childhood IgA nephropathy [29].
 

Other interactions of PLA2G7

  • The aim of this study was to relate the variability of the genes encoding PAF-AH (PLA2G7) and the PAF-receptor (PTAFR) to the risk of CAD and its complications [30].
  • We conclude that PAF acetylhydrolase is the sole phospholipase A(2) of HDL and that PON1 has no phospholipase activity toward PAF or pro-atherogenic oxidized phospholipids [31].
  • PAF acetylhydrolase, an oxidized phospholipid phospholipase A(2), is a serine esterase associated with specific HDL particles [31].
  • The Ile198Thr and Ala379Val variants of plasmatic PAF-acetylhydrolase impair catalytical activities and are associated with atopy and asthma [18].
  • TNF-alpha-mediated neuronal apoptosis can also be blocked by co-incubation with PAF acetylhydrolase, or a PAF receptor antagonist [22].
