Abstract:
Phosphatidilinositides content in lymphocytes, monocites and tumor tissues in 32 patients with benign and in 16 patients with malignant parotid gland tumors was investigated by the authors. It was found that the level of phosphatidilinositides content in blood lymphocytes and monocites in patients with benign tumors was significantly different from their values in patients with malignant tumors and this may be used in complex differential diagnostics.

01:42Phosphoinositides and PIPs
Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...

02:54Protein Kinases and Phosphatases
Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
