16:0-12:0 NBD PS

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) may be used in the liposome preparation for in vitro assay of the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) production by determining the phosphatidylserine decarboxylase 1 (Psd1p) activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylserine (PS) regulates numerous enzymes and structural components maintains the nerve cell membrane and myelin sheath.

General description

Phosphoserine (PS) is present in the intracellular membranes and grey matter, and isenriched in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membrane. NBD PS is a fluorescently labelled lipid with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) at the headgroup of PS.
