C16-PAF (PAF (C16)), a phospholipid mediator, is a platelet-activating factor and ligand for PAF G-protein-coupled receptor ( PAFR ). C16-PAF exhibits anti-apoptotic effect and inhibits caspase-dependent death by activating the PAFR. C16-PAF is a potent MAPK and MEK/ERK activator. C16-PAF induces increased vascular permeability [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] .

C16-PAF is synthesized by two distinct pathways; the remodeling pathway and the de novo synthesis pathway. C16-PAF acts by binding to a unique G-protein-coupled seven transmembrane receptor
