Description
Cardiolipin (CL) is a complex lipid with a dimeric structure. It has four acyl chains and two phosphatidyl moieties. Its phosphatidyl moieties are linked to the glycerol backbone. Around 15-20 percent of the inner mitochondrial membrane accounts for cardiolipin.Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid found exclusively within the mitochondrial inner membrane. This specific localization allows Cardiolipin to exert crucial influence on mitochondrial structure and function. Deviations in Cardiolipin content, structure, or localization can lead to impaired mitochondrial activity, contributing to various diseases like cancer, neurological disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and metabolic diseases. As Cardiolipin plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function, it holds immense potential for biomarker development and finds application in cardiovascular, neuroscience, cancer, diabetes, and metabolomics research.Application：Cardiolipin solution from bovine heart has been used:for coating Corning 96-well enzyme immunoassay/radioimmunoassay (EIA/RIA) plate to perform enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based cardiolipin binding assayin lipid analysis along with phosphatidylglycerol (PG) to comigrate the radiolabeled lipids to identify PG and cardiolipin (CL)in coating ELISA plates for antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) assaysCharacteristics and advantages：High-quality molecule suitable for mulitple research applicationsCommonly employed in Metabolomics and Biochemical studies
