General description

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a strong bilayer-forming lipid found in mammalian membranes. It consists of a positively charged quaternary amine in the headgroup and a negatively charged phosphate group.

Application

Liver PC is suitable for use:
  • in the preparation of two dimensional crystals of microsomal glutathione transferase 1 for electron microscopy
  • in the preparation of ′golgi lipid′ mixture for liposome recruitment assay
  • in lipid vesicle preparation for ligand transfer assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is an important source of diacylglycerol and other signaling molecules. Liver PC has a saturated to unsaturated fatty acid ratio of 0.91.

Packaging

5 mL Clear Glass Sealed Ampule (840055C-25mg)
