Application

16:0-d31-18:1 PS has been used as an internal standard to quantify fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES) using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS)-based lipidomic analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is implicated in apoptosis and blood clotting. It controls the activity of receptors, ion channels, enzymes and signaling molecules. PS also regulates membrane fluidity. It exhibits ergogenicproperties and represses muscle soreness in athletes.

General description

16:0-d31-18:1 PS is a deuterated phosphatidylserine (PS), a glycerophospholipid and a natural phospholipid nutrient. It is a vital part of the cell membrane. PS is present in the brain, lungs, heart, liver and skeletal muscle.

Deuterated fatty acids experience exchange of the deuteriums on the alpha carbon to the carbonyl, i.e., C2 position, and will therefore be a mixture of compounds that are fully deuterated and partially deuterated at that position.
