1-1(Z)-Hexadecenyl-2-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC

Description

1-1(Z)-Hexadecenyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is a plasmalogen that has been found in various rat tissues, including the liver, heart, kidney, gluteus muscle, soleus muscle, and visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. It has been used in the synthesis of lipid bilayers to quantify the effects of amphiphilic compounds, such as lysophosphatidylcholine (1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PC; ) and lysoplasmenylcholine, on membrane dynamics.

Uses

1-1(Z)-Hexadecenyl-2-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is an ester product.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-(1Z-hexadecenyl)-2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a 1-(Z)-alk-1-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in which the alk-1-enyl and acyl groups are specified as (1Z)-hexadecenyl and hexadecanoyl respectively. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.
