Application

16:0-06:0 NBD PS or 1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (ammonium salt) is suitable to measure the enzyme specificity of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) synthase (LtaS) and in liposomes to determine the role of phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) in phospholipid scrambling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylserine (PS) contributes to the clearance of apoptotic cells. It is involved in maintaining the nerve cell membrane and myelin sheath. It is associated with cognitive disability in Alzheimer′s disease.

General description

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a minor phospholipid present in the membranes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It comprises 2-10% of total phospholipids, enriched in brain. NBD PS is labelled at the headgroup of PS with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD).
