General description

Phosphatidylserine(PS) is the major anionic phospholipid in human plasma and intracellular membranes identified first in brain. It is a structural component of endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelopes, Golgi apparatus, inner layer of plasma membranes, outer mitochondrial membranes and myelin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylserine(PS) mediates the activation of enzymes and structural components. PS plays a key role in apoptosis by regulating cell signalling molecules and in monitoring membrane fluidity.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the most abundant negatively charged phospholipid in eukaryotic membranes. PS directs the binding of proteins that bear C2 or gamma-carboxyglutamic domains and contributes to the electrostatic association of polycationic ligands with cellular membranes.
