Lipids

1 2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol sodium salt (DSPG) is a form of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) a minor component (1-2%) of most of cell membranes.  It can be found at higher concentrations (up to 11% of the total lipid content) in lung surfactant.  Its presence in amniotic fluid indicates fetal lung maturity and is the basis of clinical testing for fetal fitness. PG is also used by cells as an intermediate in cardiolipin synthesis.  Bacterial membranes contain up to 20% of PG.

Cholesterol is an essential lipid with an important structural role in building and maintaining cell membranes modulating fluidity and permeability. Cholesterol is formed from lanosterol and is converted to bile in the liver. Abnormally high blood cholesterol levels are associated with cardiovascular disease.Publications Powered by Bioz See more details on Bioz

1-Stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanol (SOPEth) is a form of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) which is formed primarily by transphosphatidylation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) by phosphlipase D. Most PEth (about 75%) is incorporated into erythrocyte membranes and is one of the longest-lived circulating EtOH metabolite yet identified. SOPEth is a one of five most abundant naturally ocurring PEth species.

1-Palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethol (PAPEth) is a form of phosphaytidylethanol (PEth) which is formed primarily by transphosphatidylation of phosphatyidylcholine (PC) by phospholipase D. Most PEth (about 75%) is incorporated into erythrocyte membranes and is one of the longest-lived circulating EtOH metabolite yet identified. d5-PAPEth has fully deuterated ethanol headgroup and is an analog of one of five most abundant naturally occurring PEth species.

1-Oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanol (18:1 LysoPEth) aka lysophosphatidylethanol is a lysophospholipid formed by PLA2 hydrolysis of the ethanol biomarker phosphatidylethanol (PEth). Many bioactive lysophospholipid compounds exhibit pleiomorphic effects on numerous cell lineages including ovarian cancer cells as described in many publications.

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is formed primarily by transphosphatidylation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) by phosphlipase D. Most PEth (about 75%) is incorporated into erythrocyte membranes and is one of the longest-lived circulating EtOH metabolite yet identified. 1-Palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanol-d5 (d5-PLPEth) has a fully deuterated ethanol headgroup and can be used as a mass spectrometry standard.
