Glycerophospholipids act as regulators of various enzyme activities, and can be used as biological markers to indicate pathological states.
Dilyso Heart CA has been used as a lipid standard for the determination of mitochondrial cardiolipin content by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC).
Monolyso Heart CA is suitable for use:
- as substrate for the synthesis of cardiolipin by the enzyme acyl-CoA:lysocardiolipin acyltransferase (ACLAT1)
- as substrate for the assay of mitochondrial monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase (MLCL AT) activity
- in the preparation of affinity resin MLCL-adriamycin-agarose for the purification of MLCL AT
Dilysocardiolipin is composed of two acyl chains.
Dilysocardiolipin acts as an acyl donor to monolyso-phosphotidylcholine. It accepts acyl group from phosphotidylcholine.
