Description
General description
18:1 Lyso phosphoglycerol is a lyso-phospholipid detergent. Lyso-phospholipids are synthesized in γ-proteobacteria. They are non bilayer- forming lipids, present in very minute amounts.
Application
18:1 Lyso PG may be used:
for the preparation of liposomes
to determine the effects of phosphoglycerol(PG) and cardiolipin (CL) in F0F1 ATPase c subunit (F0-c) transformation
as an acyl acceptor to determine the substrate specificity of recombinant G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) for acyl acceptors
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lyso phosphoglycerol (Lyso PG) serves as a substrate for lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (LPGAT1) for the synthesis of phosphoglycerol. Accumulation of lysophospholipids in bacterial membranes disturbs the membrane integrity due to its detergent-like physical property.
