The objective of the present work was to develop a simple and sensitive radioenzymatic assay to quantify lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). For that, a recombinant rat LPA acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) produced in Escherichia coli was used. In the presence of [(14)C]oleoyl-CoA, LPAAT selectively catalyzes the transformation of LPA and alkyl-LPA into [(14)C]phosphatidic acid. Acylation of LPA was complete and linear from 0 to 200 pmol with a minimal detection of 0.2 pmol. This method was used to quantify LPA in butanol-extracted lipids from bovine sera, as well as from human and mouse plasma.This radioenzymatic assay represents a new, simple, and highly sensitive method to quantify LPA in various biological fluids.
