PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOL Usage And Synthesis
Description
Phosphatidlyethanol is an endogenous metabolite of phosphatidylcholine. Phospholipase D converts phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanol in the presence of ethanol. This reaction is the basis of a sensitive and selective assay for PLD activity in intact cells for which this product may be used as a chromatographic standard.
