Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, also knownas platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), is a phospholipase A2enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G7 gene. Lp-PLA2 is a 45-kDaprotein of 441 amino acids. It is one of several PAF acetylhydrolases. Lp-PLA2is involved in the development of atherosclerosis, an observation that hasprompted interest as a possible therapeutic target (see, e.g. theinvestigational drug Darapladib). In human atherosclerotic lesions, 2 mainsources of Lp-PLA2 can be identified, including that which is brought into theintima bound to LDL (from the circulation), and that which is synthesized denovo by plaque inflammatory cells (macrophages, T cells, mast cells)."
It is used as a marker for cardiac disease.
