description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activity and platelet-activating factor acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PAFAH2 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased sensitivity to hepatic injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
