A number of ELISA Kits are available that target Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 2, an alias of the protein, platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 2. The human protein, encoded by the gene PAFAH2, is an enzyme and member of the Serine esterase family. The protein's cellular localization is indicated to be cytoplasmic. Additional synonyms or past names for this protein may include: HSD-PLA2. Homology is conserved in other species, such as Mouse, Rat, Frog, Chicken.
