18:1 Phosphatidylbutanol or 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphobutanol (sodium salt) has been used as a standard to measure phospholipase D (PLD) activity in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and cancer cell lines by thin layer-chromatography.
일반 설명
Phosphatidylbutanol is a low polarity phosphatidylalcohol. This phospholipid is synthesized by the phospholipase D (PLD) catalyzed transphosphatidylation reaction of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and butanol.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylbutanol is used in phospholipase D activity assays as a potential biomarker.
