Platelet-activating factor (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; PAF) acetyl-hydrolase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the acetyl ester of PAF. We purified this enzyme, which accumulated in the peritoneal cavity during endotoxin shock, by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and sequential use of butyl-Toyopearl, heparin-Sepharose, Con A-Sepharose, chelating-Sepharose, and MonoQ column chromatographies. We identified a monomeric polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 63 kDa on… Expand
