18:1-06:0 NBD PS or 1-oleoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (ammonium salt) may be used as a marker to determine the aminophospholipid transferase activity and in large unilammelar vesicles (LUVs) to investigate the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2).
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is involved in the regulation of many enzymes and structural components. It supports neuronal survival, neurite growth and synaptogenesis. It is associated with cognitive disability in Alzheimerμs disease.
