Related Product Information for Phosphatidylglycerol assay kit
Phospholipids are physiologically critical amphiphilic molecules that are involved in regulation of numerous cellular processes. Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is a glycerophospholipid consisting of a glycerol backbone with two acyl chains and a phosphatidyl group that carries another glycerol moiety. Lung surfactant is an important lipid-protein mixture that aids in expansion and prevents total collapse of the lung during respiration. PG is a prominent phospholipid in lung surfactant, and its presence can be monitored as a measure of lung development in the maturing fetus. In addition, most bacteria utilize PG in their membrane, and plants utilize this component as the major phospholipid in the photosynthetic membranes of leaf tissue. In HPLC analysis of phospholipids, phosphatidic acid can interfere with and complicate determination of PG content. Phosphatidylglycerol Assay Kit utilizes specific enzymes to generate an intermediate that reacts with a probe, yielding a signal that can be quantified fluorometrically, and is proportional to the amount of PG present in the sample, unaffected by the presence of phosphatidic acid, cardiolipin, or other lipids. When used as described, the assay is highly selective against other phospholipids (see figure below) and capable of detecting as little as 20 pmoles of phosphatidylglycerol.

Product Notes
The General Phosphatidylglycerol (Catalog #AAA849702) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA849702 Assay Kit recognizes General Phosphatidylglycerol. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Phosphatidylglycerol, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
