Positional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2
Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (Lpla2) is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages and may mediate the phospholipid metabolism of surfactant. Studies on the properties of this phospholipase are consistent with the presence of both phospholipase A1 and ...

Canine NAPEPLD-associated models of human myelin disorders [PDF]
Canine leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) is a juvenile-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the CNS white matter currently described in Rottweiler and Leonberger dogs. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) allowed us to map LEMP in a Leonberger cohort to dog

Duramycin-induced calcium release in cancer cells [PDF]
Introduction: Duramycin through binding with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) has shown potential to be an effective anti-tumour agent. However its mode of action in relation to tumour cells is not fully understood.

The phospholipids phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) play important roles in the virulence of Candida albicans and loss of PS synthesis or synthesis of PE from PS (PS decarboxylase) severely compromises virulence in C.

Phosphatidylethanolamine positively regulates autophagy and longevity [PDF]
Autophagy is a cellular recycling program that retards ageing by efficiently eliminating damaged and potentially harmful organelles and intracellular protein aggregates. Here, we show that the abundance of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) positively regulates autophagy.

Identification and characterization of human ethanolaminephosphotransferase1
CDP-ethanolamine:diacylglycerol ethanolaminephosphotransferase (EPT) catalyzes the transfer of phosphoethanolamine from CDP-ethanolamine to diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).

Implications of mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine in neuronal health and neurodegeneration
Phosphatidylethanolamine is a major phospholipid class abundant in the brain, particularly in the inner leaflet of the plasma and mitochondrial membranes. Although it is primarily synthesized from phosphatidylserine via decarboxylation in mitochondria or

Identification of biosynthetic precursors for the endocannabinoid anandamide in the rat brain
Anandamide is an endogenous signaling lipid that binds to and activates cannabinoid receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues. The endogenous precursors of anandamide, N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamines (NArPEs), are a family of complex ...
