14:0 BMP (S,R) is suitable to use as the internal standardfor lipid extractions and mass spectrometric quantification from Detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) and detergent-soluble membrane (DSM) fractions.
Bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP)/lysobisphosphatidic acid is a phospholipid, that has two phosphate-linked glycerol molecules. This phosphate-linked glycerol molecules are present in an unusualsn-1 glycerophospho-sn-1′ glycerol stereo conformation, and each glycerol molecule esterified with fattyacid. It is usually seen in the intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) of late endosomes and lysosomes.
Bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP)/lysobisphosphatidic acid actively participates in cargo sorting by inducing the degradation and sorting of lipids. It also plays a major role in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) sorting in acidic organelles.
