PTAFR
A seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor that localizes to lipid rafts and/or caveolae in the cell membrane is encoded by this gene. PAF, a phospholipid, is important for the development of tumors, angiogenesis, metastasis, and pro-inflammatory activities. Numerous signal transduction pathways, such as phospholipases C, D, and A2, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, are stimulated when PAF binds to the PAF-receptor (PAFR). Cells rapidly lose their sensitivity after PAFR activation, and this refractory state is reliant on PAFR phosphorylation, internalization, and down-regulation.
