CHOLESTERYL PHOSPHORYL CHOLINE

Uses

Cholesteryl phosphocholine has been used in the preparation of multilamellar lipid vesicles (MLVs) for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies. It has also been used in the preparation of ceramide-cholesterol phosphocholine bilayers.

Biological Activity

Cholesteryl phosphocholine (CholPC) is used in the generation of stable lipid bilayers. CholPC complexed to C6-ceramide is bioavailable and is useful in cell culture delivery studies. The CholPC and ceramide mixture is stable.
