Uses
17:0 PS has been used as an internal standard for BXD liver and plasma sample analysis. It may be used as a standard to estimate the cellular lipidome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.
General Description
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is an anionic phospholipid abundantly present in the eukaryotic cell. 10% of the total cellular lipid consists of phosphatidylserine. O‐phospho‐L‐serine is a heat‐stable substrate.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) participates in various intracellular signaling pathways. It also play a major role in apoptosis and blood clotting.
