Description
Lyso-
PAF C-
16-
d
4 contains four deuterium atoms at the 7, 7'', 8, and 8'' positions of the hexadecyl moiety. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of PAF C-
16 by GC-
or LC-
mass spectrometry. Lyso-
PAF C-
16 can be formed by either the action of PAF-
AH on PAF C-
16, or by the action of a CoA-
independent transacylase on 1-
O-
hexadecyl-
2-
acyl-
glycerophosphocholine. Lyso-
PAF C-
16 is a substrate for either PAF C-
16 formation by the remodeling pathway or selective acylation with arachidonic acid by a CoA-
independent transacylase.
