NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
Uniprot Description
PLA2G7: Modulates the action of platelet-activating factor (PAF) by hydrolyzing the sn-2 ester bond to yield the biologically inactive lyso-PAF. Has a specificity for substrates with a short residue at the sn-2 position. It is inactive against long-chain phospholipids. Defects in PLA2G7 are the cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency (PAFAD). An enzymatic deficiency that results in exacerbated bodily response to inflammatory agents. Asthmatic individuals affected by this condition may manifest severe respiratory symptoms. Defects in PLA2G7 are a cause of susceptibility to asthma (ASTHMA). The most common chronic disease affecting children and young adults. It is a complex genetic disorder with a heterogeneous phenotype, largely attributed to the interactions among many genes and between these genes and the environment. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of paroxysmal dyspnea, with weezing due to spasmodic contraction of the bronchi. PLA2G7 variants can be a risk factor for the development of asthma and PLA2G7 may act as a modifier gene that modulates the severity of this disease. Defects in PLA2G7 are a cause of susceptibility to atopic hypersensitivity (ATOPY). A condition characterized by predisposition to develop hypersensitivity reactions. Atopic individuals can develop eczema, allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.

Product Notes
The Canine LP-PL-A2 pla2g7 (Catalog #AAA015390) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA015390 ELISA Kit recognizes Canine LP-PL-A2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
