Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009] Expression Broad expression in appendix (RPKM 6.4), lymph node (RPKM 5.5) and 18 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
