Phosphatidylinositol diC8 (PI diC8) is a synthetic, purified dioctanoyl PI. Phosphoinositides (PIPns) are minor components of cellular membranes but are integral signaling molecules for cellular communication. Phosphatidylinositol (PI or PtdIns) is biosynthesized from CDP-diacylglycerol and inositol by phosphatidylinositol synthase. PI is the building block for phosphoinositide polyphosphates through phosphorylation by PI-kinases and is a substrate for PI-PLC yielding diacylgelycerol. Alternate Names: Dioctanoyl Phosphatidylinositol, PtdIns C8, PI C8, (8:0/8:0) PI Bulk discounts available, please email echelon@echelon-inc.com for information. |
