1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) (1-Arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (sodium)) is a phospholipid with arachifonic acid at the sn-1 position. 1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) binds to the LPA2/EDG4 receptor (EC50 of 10 nM). 1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) can be found in rat brain as 37% of the arachidoinic acid-containing lysophosphatidic acid species. 1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) is the precursor to 1-arachidonoyl glycerol. 1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) can prevent TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in wild type LPS-stimulated dendritic cells. 1-Arachidonoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (sodium) reduces differentiation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells into goblet cells when sodium butyrate is present.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
