Alkyl lysophosphatidic acid

Using the above methodology, it is possible to obtain the composition of a naturally occurring lysophosphatidic acid(s) preparation. At the present time, the three chemical forms described—the 1-0-acyl-, the 1-0-alkyl-, and the 1-0-alkenylglycerophosphoric acids—are the most likely types to be encountered in mammalian cells.
