C16-PAF (Cat No.:I010654) is a biologically active phospholipid and a classic form of platelet-activating factor (PAF). It serves as a potent mediator of inflammation, immune responses, and thrombosis. By binding to PAF receptors, C16-PAF triggers diverse cellular processes including platelet aggregation, leukocyte activation, vasodilation, and increased vascular permeability. It is widely applied in research to study cardiovascular disease, allergy, asthma, and sepsis, where dysregulated PAF signaling contributes to pathology. C16-PAF provides a valuable tool for investigating lipid mediator biology and developing anti-inflammatory or antithrombotic therapies.
