General description

1-palmitoyl-2-glutaryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) is a constituent of oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins (oxLDLs). It is synthesized from the non-enzymatic oxidation of a major low-density lipoproteins (LDL) phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAPC).

Application

1-palmitoyl-2-glutaryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) has been used to study its effect on plasma membrane nanoplatforms using single-molecule microscopy.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-palmitoyl-2-glutaryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) acts as an inducer of inflammation, proliferation or apoptosis in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages. It is accumulated in atherosclerotic lesions.

Lipid oxidation is now thought to be an initiating and sustaining event in atherogenesis. Oxidatively fragmented phospholipids, namely 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PGPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POVPC), present in minimally modified LDL and atherosclerotic lesions, have been reported to elicit a wide range of

We previously developed a single-molecule microscopy method termed TOCCSL (thinning out clusters while conserving stoichiometry of labeling), which allows for direct imaging of stable nanoscopic platforms with raft-like properties diffusing in the plasma membrane. As a consensus raft marker, we
