Uses
Brain PC is suitable for use in the preparation of lipid mixture for microplate (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA))-based recognition of glycolipid-protein interaction assay and liposomes for co-sedimentation assay. Brain PC has been used in the preparation of liposomes for integration of receptors.
Uses
Brain PC is suitable for use:
- in the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs)
- as a constituent in serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification (sPMCA) buffer
- as standard for ion mobility shift-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS)
General Description
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a predominant glycerophospholipid in eukaryotes. Brain PC predominantly contains PC 16:0/16:0 and PC 16:0/18:1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major source of second messengers and lipid mediators. It is intermediate in the synthesis of other phospholipids.
