General description

Cardiolipin is localized in the inner membrane of mitochondria. It contains 18 carbon atoms, 3-phosphatidyl groups connected via a glycerol bridge. Cardiolipin is an important component of ATP synthase enzyme.

Application

Cardiolipin sodium salt from bovine heart has been used:
  • as a phospholipid standard in thin layer chromatography for the quantification of total mitochondrial lipids of Neurospora crassa(89)
  • as an internal standard in reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) for quantification of bacterial lipid extracts(90)
  • as an antigen to evaluate IgM reaction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients(91)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cardiolipin is a mitochondrial phospholipid that is found in mammalian tissues in low concentrations. It is often a membrane component. Inhibits cell attachment of fibronectin, vitronectin and Type I collagen.

Bax is a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein. The activated Bax translocates to mitochondria, where it forms pore and permeabilizes the mitochondrial outer membrane. This process requires the BH3-only activator protein (i.e. tBid) and can be inhibited by anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family
