General description

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor modulators include N-palmitoyl serine phosphoric acid and N-palmitoyl-tyrosine phosphoric acid. N-palmitoyl serine phosphoric acid and N-palmitoyl-tyrosine phosphoric acid are competitive inhibitors of the LPA receptor in Xenopus oocytes. However, in mammalian cells, N-palmitoyl-tyrosine phosphoric acid may act as an agonist for the LPA receptor. LPA is a lipid mediator that acts similar to growth factors through G-protein coupled plasma membrane receptors. LPA may play a role in platelet aggregation, smooth muscle contraction, vasoactive changes, cytoskeletal reorganization and cell proliferation.

5 mL Amber Glass Screw Cap Vial (800725P-1mg)

Preparation Note

Product use: N-palmitoyl-serine and N-palmitoyl-tyrosine phosphoric acid can be used for cell studies. dissolved these lipids in 0.1 mL PBS containing 0.1 mg/mL human serum albumin before adding to cells. In X. laevis studies, these LPA inhibitors were dissolved in DMSO at 1 mM and filtered through a 0.45 mM membrane filter before injection.
