Product Overview
Description:
2-O-ethyl PAF C-16 is a synthetic phospholipid congener of platelet-activating factor featuring a stable ethyl ether modification at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. This amphiphilic lipid serves as a tailored tool for probing platelet activation dynamics, exhibiting shifted agonist potency profiles compared to carbamate-modified analogues while driving cation-dependent granulocyte aggregation cascades and mediating pathway desensitization under chelated environments.
