PTAFR shows structural characteristics of the rhodopsin
(MIM 180380) gene family and binds platelet-activating factor
(PAF). PAF is a phospholipid
(1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) that has been
implicated as a mediator in diverse pathologic processes, such as
allergy, asthma, septic shock, arterial thrombosis, and
inflammatory processes.1) Davila, S., et al. Genes Immun. (2010) In press :
