General description

Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LysoPE), a prominent part of lysophospholipid, is obtained by the partial hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine.

Application

3-sn-Lysophosphatidylethanolamine from egg yolk has been used:
  • to prepare liposomes for liposome binding and vesiculation assay
  • as a phospholipid standard in high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) to detect the phospholipid composition of platelet-derived microparticles
  • as a phospholipid standard in thin layer chromatography (TLC) to identify phospholipid in parasitophorous vacuoles (PV) containing Leishmania amazonensis

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-α-Lysophosphatidylethanolamines from egg yolk are enriched with stearate and palmitate acylated fatty acids.
Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) participates in the physiological and pathological processes of the nervous system. It plays a key role in the function of the cell membrane, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses.

Quality

Contains primarily stearic and palmitic acids.
