Application

3-sn-Phosphatidic acid sodium salt from egg yolk lecithinin the reaction mixture for CDS (cytidine triphosphate:phosphatidate cytidyltransferase) assay and reference lipid for thin layer chromatography (TLC)as a standard to compare the generated radiolabeled phosphatidic acid (PA)to examine its effects on At-Rac2–associated kinase activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidic acid might serve as a modulator of phagocyte respiratory burst. It also acts as a precursor of diacylglycerol,phosphatidic acidand lysophosphatidic acid.
