• Background: This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor for platelet-activating factor (PAF) that localizes to lipid rafts and/or caveolae in the cell membrane. PAF (1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is a phospholipid that plays a significant role in oncogenic transformation; tumor growth; angiogenesis; metastasis; and pro-inflammatory processes. Binding of PAF to the PAF-receptor (PAFR) stimulates numerous signal transduction pathways including phospholipase C; D; A2; mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs); and the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Following PAFR activation; cells become rapidly desensitized and this refractory state is dependent on PAFR phosphorylation; internalization; and down-regulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
