The relatively weak binding combined with a low concentration of PA in the membrane allows the channel to turn off. The local high concentration for activation suggests at least some restrictions in local lipid diffusion. The bulk low concentration of PA combined with high local bursts is the opposite of PIP2 signaling.
Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is formed via a complex sequential pathway whereby phosphatidic acid (PA) is first converted to CDP-diacylglyceride by the enzyme CDP-diacylglyceride synthase. [2] Then a PGP synthase enzyme exchanges glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) for cytidine monophosphase (CMP), forming the temporary intermediate ...
Pyridoxine (PN) [4] is a form of vitamin B 6 found commonly in food and used as a dietary supplement.As a supplement it is used to treat and prevent pyridoxine deficiency, sideroblastic anaemia, pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, certain metabolic disorders, side effects or complications of isoniazid use, and certain types of mushroom poisoning.

Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, P5P), the active form of vitamin B 6, is a coenzyme in a variety of enzymatic reactions. The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has catalogued more than 140 PLP-dependent activities, corresponding to ~4% of all classified activities. [5]
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate or PtdIns(4,5)P 2, also known simply as PIP 2 or PI(4,5)P 2, is a minor phospholipid component of cell membranes. PtdIns(4,5)P 2 is enriched at the plasma membrane where it is a substrate for a number of important signaling proteins. [1] PIP2 also forms lipid clusters [2] that sort proteins. [3] [4] [5]
The lipid accumulates in the human body and competes at agonists sites of lipid-gated ion channels contributing to alcohol intoxication. [3] The chemical similarity of PEth to phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) suggest a likely broad perturbation to lipid signaling; the exact role of PEth as a competitive lipid ligand has not been studied extensively.
Arterial blood gases will indicate low pH, low blood HCO 3, and normal or low PaCO 2. In addition to arterial blood gas, an anion gap can also differentiate between possible causes. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is useful for calculating blood pH, because blood is a buffer solution .
