Description

PAF, short for Platelet-activating factor, is a mediator of platelet aggregation and a ligand for PAF receptors. It has roles in many other leukocyte functions around inflammation and immune response, as well as, chemotaxis and vasuclar changes. The PAF signaling system can trigger significant inflammatory and thrombotic cascades, and has been show to have roles in septic shock.
