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.

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.
