Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) belongs to a class of phospholipids, that has a glycerol backbone attached by a phosphate group, an aliphatic chain and a hydroxyl group. It has a phosphate group attached to sn-3 position, an aliphatic chain attached to sn-1 or sn-2 position and the hydroxyl group attached to the remaining sn-1 or sn-2 position.
Application:
14:0 Lyso PA is suitable to use as internal standard to spike serum samples for the extraction of serum lipids.[2] It is also suitable to use as standard lipids for extraction of lipids and for quality control in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assay.
