Description
General description
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an acidic membrane phospholipid present in human cerebral cortex. It is majorly present in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane. NBD PS contains the fluorophore, 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) labelled at the headgroup of PS.
Application
18:1-12:0 NBD PS or 1-oleoyl-2-{12-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]dodecanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (ammonium salt), may be used to measure the phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (Psd1) activity.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is involved in maintaining the nerve cell membrane and myelin sheath. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is associated with Akt, protein kinase C (PKC) and Raf-1 signaling.
