platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b regulatory subunit 1

The PAFAH1B1 gene (also known as LIS1) provides instructions for making a protein that is one part (subunit) of a complex called platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1B (PAFAH1B). This complex regulates the amount of a molecule called platelet activating factor (PAF) in the brain. PAF is thought to be involved in directing the movement of nerve cells, a process known as neuronal migration. Proper neuronal migration is essential for normal brain development and function.

Normal function

The PAFAH1B1 gene (also known as LIS1) provides instructions for making a protein that is one part (subunit) of a complex called platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1B (PAFAH1B). This complex regulates the amount of a molecule called platelet activating factor (PAF) in the brain. PAF is thought to be involved in directing the movement of nerve cells, a process known as neuronal migration. Proper neuronal migration is essential for normal brain development and function.

The PAFAH1B1 protein is also involved in the organisation of the cell's structural framework (the cytoskeleton). This protein interacts with microtubules and with their associated proteins. Microtubules are the rigid, hollow fibers that make up the cytoskeleton; they play an important role in cell division and cell movement. Interactions between the PAFAH1B1 protein and the microtubules and their associated proteins are also essential for proper neuronal migration.

Thrombophilie

The body has a natural clotting process in the blood, which is altered in thrombophilia. Thrombophilia refers to a group of conditions where the blood clots more easily than normal. These blood clots can cause problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism. See the separate leaflets called Deep vein thrombosis and Pulmonary.

This leaflet gives a brief overview of the système immunitaire and how it works. A person with a weak immune system might have difficulty fighting off infections. In autoimmune diseases the body is unable to tell what is its own and what is foreign, so it attacks itself. Autoimmune diseases can attack any part of the body - eg, type 1 diabetes.
