A review of fluorescent lipid probes and their use in biological and biophysical research has been published. Important applications of the fluorescent phosphatidylinositol derivatives as probes for signal transduction and various fluorescent phospholipids as phospholipase substrates are further described in Probes for Lipid Metabolism and Signaling-Section 17.4. Sphingolipids, steroids and lipopolysaccharides are discussed in Sphingolipids, Steroids, Lipopolysaccharides and Related Probes-Section 13.3. Also included in this section are several head group–modified phospholipid analogs incorporating a fluorophore or biotin ( Phospholipids with labeled head groups-Table 13.1). In this location, they are sensitive to membrane properties such as lipid fluidity, lateral domain formation and structural perturbation by proteins, drugs and other additives. The fluorophores in these probes tend to remain buried in the hydrophobic interior of lipid bilayer membranes. Included in this section are fluorescent fatty acid analogs, as well as phospholipids wherein one or both fatty acid esters are replaced by fluorescent fatty acid esters. The probes in this section and in Sphingolipids, Steroids, Lipopolysaccharides and Related Probes-Section 13.3 bear some structural resemblance to natural lipids.
