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.
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.
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) participates in various intracellular signaling pathways. It also play a major role in apoptosis and blood clotting.
