General description

C16-18:1 PC, also referred as 1-O-hexadecyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (HOPC), is a platelet activating factor. It belongs to the class of bioactive lipids. HOPC is a mono-ether PC containing ester-linked 18:1 chain (oleoyl) at the sn-2 position and an ether-linked 16:0 chain (hexadecyl) at the sn-1 position.

Application

C16-18:1 PC or 1-O-hexadecyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine may be used: as a lipid standard for quantification of glycerophosphocholine by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), in preparation of phospholipid vesicles, as a substrate to study the substrate specificity of phospholipase B/lipase (PLB/LIP) in the presence and absence of deoxycholate (DOC).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) acts as a lipid mediator and is involved in various inflammatory diseases.

The glycolipid transfer protein (GLTP)-mediated movement of galactosylceramide from model membrane donor vesicles to acceptor vesicles is sensitive to the membrane environment surrounding the glycolipid. GLTP can catalyze the transfer of a fluorescently labeled GSL, anthrylvinyl-galactosylceramide (AV-GalCer), from vesicles composed

Phosphoinositides, diacylglycerolpyrophosphate, ceramide-1-phosphate, and phosphatidic acid belong to a unique class of membrane signaling lipids that contain phosphomonoesters in their headgroups having pKa values in the physiological range. The phosphomonoester headgroup of phosphatidic acid enables this lipid to act as
