Quantitative analysis of lysophosphatidic acid by time-of-flight mass spectrometry using a phosphate-capture molecule

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator that may play an important role in wound healing, embryonic development, and progression of cancer. Here, we report a procedure for the quantification of LPA by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The method is...
