16:0 Cardiolipin - 500 ug

Cardiolipin (CL) is an important component in prokaryotic and in eukaryotic inner mitochondrial membrane. In humans CL is made by cardiolipin synthase from phosphatidylglycerol and cytidinediphosphatediacylglycerol. Due to its four acyl chains and small head group CL can organize into domains which can be proton sinks fill cavities at protein interfaces stabilize protein oligomers and participate in high-curvature membrane regions. Autoantibodies to CL have been found in patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome and lupus.The free acid is being discontinued please use the ammonium salt as a replacement (cat# L-C161) Powered by Bioz See more details on Bioz
