Protocol for electron microscopy ultrastructural localization of the fusogenic lipid phosphatidic acid on plasma membrane sheets from chromaffin cells

Summary: The glycerophospholipid phosphatidic acid (PA) is a key player in regulated exocytosis, but little is known about its localization at the plasma membrane. Here, we provide a protocol for precisely determining the spatial distribution of PA at exocytotic sites by electron microscopy. Using p...
