General description

Cardiolipin is a phospholipid found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It is synthesized from phosphatidylglycerol and cytidinediphosphate-diacylglycerol. It consists of two phosphatidyl residues, which are linked by a glycerol group.

Application

Heart CA has been used in the Mycobacterium lipid extraction and in β- Hexosaminidase release and calcium mobilization assays. It maybe used for liposome synthesis. It may also be used as a lipid standard for the in situ analysis and characterization of cardiolipins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cardiolipin is involved in maintaining the structure and function of the mitochondria. It also serves as a co-factor for stimulating mitochondrial enzymes and mediates mitochondrial apoptosis. Cardiolipin is associated with the oxidative phosphorylation system for the adenine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Deficiency of cardiolipin is associated with variation of mitochondrial membrane structure and function. It is also associated with Barth syndrome.

Characterizing the structure of membrane proteins (MPs) generally requires extraction from their native environment, most commonly with detergents. Yet, the physicochemical properties of detergent micelles and lipid bilayers differ markedly and could alter the structural organization of MPs, albeit without
