QUICK LINKS
1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycerol, known as platelet-activating factor (PAF) analog, is an ether lipid molecule that mimics the structure and function of the natural bioactive lipid PAF. This compound is widely utilized in biological research to study inflammatory responses and signal transduction pathways associated with PAF. Due to its structural similarity to PAF, 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycerol can bind to the PAF receptor, eliciting or inhibiting cellular responses depending on its specific configuration and experimental context. Research involving 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycerol facilitates the understanding of PAF receptor-mediated processes, which include platelet aggregation, leukocyte activation, and vascular permeability changes. It also helps in investigating the role of PAF in various physiological and pathophysiological contexts. Furthermore, 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycerol is valuable in the development of PAF receptor antagonists and in the study of lipid-mediated cellular communication.
