Compound Overview
18:0,22:6 PS sodium is the sodium form of a phosphatidylserine lipid found in rat brain and heart tissues, where it accounts for a considerable proportion of the total phosphatidylserine content. It contains 18:0 and 22:6 n-3 fatty acyl chains and is also used in liposome-preparation research[1][2]. It has the molecular formula C46H77NNaO10P (MW 858.07).

In Vivo
In n-3-adequate Long-Evans rat neuronal tissues, 18:0,22:6 PS sodium is the dominant PS molecular species. n-3 fatty acid deficiency causes a dramatic reduction in its endogenous tissue content, and the largest absolute reductions are seen in brain cortex[2].
