Title: Analysis of phospholipid synthesis in mitochondria. Author: Montesinos J, Area-Gomez E, Schlame M. Journal: Methods Cell Biol; 2020; 155():321-335. PubMed ID: 32183965. Abstract: Mitochondria and their associated membranes actively participate in biosynthesis, trafficking, and degradation of cellular phospholipids. Two crucial lipid biosynthetic activities of mitochondria include (i) the decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine and (ii) the de novo synthesis of cardiolipin. Here we describe protocols to measure these two activities, applying isotope-labeled or exogenous substrates in combination with thin-layer chromatography or mass spectrometry.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
