[Abstract] The lipid Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PtdIns3P or PI(3)P] plays many membrane trafficking roles and is primarily produced by the Class III PI3K, VPS34. Determining the level of cellular PI(3)P however can be complex. Extraction of cellular lipids by methanol/chloroform can struggle to separate and identify distinct phospholipid species. Alternately mass spectrometry may be utilised but this requires significant set up of specialised equipment and time to utilise.

Use of a PI(3)P-binding-specific recombinant protein domain is a quick method for ascertaining cellular PI(3)P levels and can also allow visualisation of sub-cellular localisation. The PX domain of p40phox (herein referred to as PX) is very specific for PI(3)P over other phospholipid species (Kanai et al., ... [摘要] 脂质磷脂酰肌醇-3-磷酸[PtdIns3P或PI（3）P]扮演许多膜贩运角色，主要由III类PI3K，VPS34产生。然而，确定细胞PI（3）P的水平可以是复杂的。通过甲醇/氯仿提取细胞脂质可能难以分离和鉴定不同的磷脂种类。或者可以使用质谱法，但这需要大量设置专门的设备和时间来利用。
使用PI（3）P结合特异性重组蛋白结构域是用于确定细胞PI（3）P水平的快速方法，并且还可以允许亚细胞定位的可视化。 p40phox的PX结构域（本文称为PX）对PI（3）P比其它磷脂种类非常特异（Kanai等人，2001）。然而，在细胞中直接表达PX可能是有问题的，因为它将以显性负性方式作用，以比内源蛋白更大的亲和力结合和螯合PI（3）P，从而干扰细胞途径和PI（3）P水平。因此，使用荧光标记的PX后细胞固定更合适，因为它能突出显示PI（3）富集结构，没有扰乱系统的风险。
