PAF Acetylhydrolase Assay Kit

PAF-AH catalyzes the hydrolysis of the potent biologically-active phospholipid PAF, generating inactive lyso-PAF. Cayman’s PAF-AH assay kit provides an accurate and convenient method for measurement of PAF-AH activity. The assay uses 2-thio PAF which serves as a substrate for PAF-AH. Upon hydrolysis of the acetyl thioester bond at the sn-2 position by PAF-AH, free thiols are detected using Ellman’s reagent.
