17:1 LPA

Application

17:1 Lyso PA or 1-(10Z-heptadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (ammonium salt) has been used as an internal standard for unsaturated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) ester and cyclic LPA ethers in reversed-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysophosphatidic acid (Lyso PA) is considered as a biological modulator of various functions in the cell. It is a potent signaling molecule with growth-factor-like actions. Lyso PA regulates cell proliferation, survival, cytoskeletal modification and calcium influx. It is associated with smooth-muscle contraction and platelet aggregation. It is also known to regulate blood pressure. Lyso PA possess extensive biological actions and is involved in the progression of several human cancer.

General description

Lysophosphatidic acid (Lyso PA) is a water-soluble lipid, localized to all cells and tissues in mammals.
