Application

18:1-12:0 NBD PA or 1-oleoyl-2-{12-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]dodecanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (ammonium salt) is suitable: for the in vitro enzyme activity assay of galactolipase, for NBD-PA and NBD phosphatidyl choline uptake assays, to measure lipid transfer specificity of Ups1 mutants

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is implicated in many membrane fusion and membrane fission events, such as fission of Golgi membranes. It is a bioactive lipid and a secondary messenger.

General description

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an anionic cellular glycerophospholipid constituting 1-4% of membrane lipids. It possesses a phosphomonoester polar head group and two long hydrophobic acyl chains. NBD PA is a fluorescently labelled lipid with the fluorophore, 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) at the sn-2 fatty acid of PA.
