Definition

Phosphoinositides :

all phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol

Glycerophospholipid :

a lipid composed of glycerol, two fatty acids attached to the sn-1 and sn-2 position of this glycerol, and a head group attached to the sn-3 position via a phosphate

Abundance and Synthesis

Phosphatidylinositol-3-monophosphate (PI3P) is a glycerophospholipid with an inositol ring as the head group, which is esterified to a phosphate group at the D3 position of the inositol ring. Due to the density of negative charges at the polar head group of the molecule, PI3P can be considered a strong epitope in cellular membranes that can function as an attachment site for proteins (Hammond and Balla 2015).

The very hydrophilic head group combined with the hydrophobic acyl chains as well as the low abundance makes it difficult to analyze PI3P. Silanized glassware has to be used throughout extraction, transfer, and storage, as phosphoinositides stick to metals and...
