General description

Phosphatidylethanolamine is an amino phospholipid, which is found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. It is one of the most abundant glycerophospholipids in the biological membranes. Phosphatidylethanolamine is found in nervous tissue.

Application

C18(Plasm)-18:1 PE has been used for lipid purification and fatty acid extraction. It has also been used for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated beta rich prion protein PrPβ conversion.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylethanolamine forms pure lipid structures. It maintains membrane fluidity in eukaryotic cells. Phosphatidylethanolamine plays a critical role in autophagy, cell division and protein folding. It acts as a precursor for the synthesis of various protein modifications. Phosphatidylethanolamine functions as an intermediate for the synthesis of glycerophospholipid classes.

Prions containing misfolded prion protein (PrP(Sc)) can be formed with cofactor molecules using the technique of serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification. However, it remains unknown whether cofactors materially participate in maintaining prion conformation and infectious properties. Here we show that

Misfolding of the prion protein (PrP) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of infectious, sporadic, and inherited prion diseases. Here we use a chemically defined prion propagation system to study misfolding of the pathogenic PrP mutant D177N in vitro.
