PC (brain, bovine)

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.
