| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Phosphatidlyethanol is an endogenous metabolite of phosphatidylcholine. Phospholipase D converts phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanol in the presence of ethanol. This reaction is the basis of a sensitive and selective assay for PLD activity in intact cells for which this product may be used as a chromatographic standard. | [References]
