Abstract
1.
1. PAF-AH activity in human kidney (cortex and medulla) has been demonstrated and shares the following properties.
2.
2. Does not require the presence of Ca2+ and appears to be different from phospholipase A2.
3.
3. The pH optimum shows a peak at 7–7.4.
4.
4. It is stable for 4 days at −30°C.
5.
5. It is mainly distributed in the microsomal fraction.
6.
6. The apparent Km, values of the enzymes of cortex and medulla are 0.553 and 0.207 μM, respectively and distinct from serum PAF-AH (1.439 μM).
7.
7. The apparent molecular weight values are 60,000 and 25,000 for medulla and cortex, respectively and distinct from serum PAF-AH (94,000).
