PAF-acetylhydrolase

PAF-acetylhydrolase is an enzyme in the body that helps regulate inflammation by breaking down a molecule called platelet-activating factor (PAF). PAF plays a role in immune responses and blood clotting, but when levels are too high, it can cause excessive inflammation and tissue damage. PAF-acetylhydrolase deactivates PAF, preventing overstimulation of immune cells and reducing inflammation. This enzyme acts as a natural protector, maintaining balance in the immune system and supporting cardiovascular health by controlling inflammatory processes.
