Uses
24:0 PC (1,2-dilignoceroyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
- in both short-chain micelles and longer-chain oriented multilayers and in Langmuir monolayers for structural studies of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein
- to compare cohesion/to study the effects of lipid cohesion on the thermally induced revaporization and dissolution of microbubble condensed droplets (MCDs)
- to study its effects on non-amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and to study the effects of the its carbon chain length on α-secretase activity
Uses
24:0 PC (1,2-dilignoceroyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
- in short-chain micelles, longer-chain oriented multilayers and in Langmuir monolayers for structural studies
- as an acyl chain lipid in microbubble condensed droplets (MCDs) and characterization studies
- in phosphatidylcholine bilayer preparation for Raman spectroscopy studies
General Description
24:0 PC (1,2-dilignoceroyl-
sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a long-chain diacyl phospholipid. It consists of C24 saturated hydrocarbon chains.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) serve as a major source for eicosanoids.
