Application
16:0 Lyso PI (1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol) has been used as a lipid standard in the optimization of the liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method conditions and also has been used as lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) substratesin lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase biochemical assay to assay lyso-phosphatidylinositol acyltransferase (LPIAT) activity of liver microsomes. It may also be used as synthetic LPI to compare its effect with LPI from liver in transferrin (Tf)mediated endocytosis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Increased circulating levels of L-alpha-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) are associated with cancer and LPI is a potent ligand for the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR55.
Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) has the ability to modulate cancer cell migration. It can control the functions of endothelium. LPI can serve as an autocrine regulator of cell growth, hence its known to participate in cancer progression. It can stimulate signaling cascades, that are essential for survival, migration and proliferation of cells.
General description
Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a bioactive lipid.
