POPG; PG(16:0/18:1), also known as 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol, is a phospholipid with phosphate group attached to glycerol. The tails consist of saturated fatty acid (palmitic acid/16:0) and unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid/18:1).
1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1''-rac-glycerol) Sodium Salt is useful for various surfactant applications.
16:0-18:1 PG has been used in liposome preparation. It is suitable for use as a component in monoolein to treat purified β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR)-T4 lysozyme (T4L)- Gαs α5 helix (GsCT)-CC?chimera?protein and in lipid vesicle preparation.
Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membrane?bilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chain?fatty acids,?esterified to?hydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol and?phosphoric acid?esterified to the C3?hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores.
Phosphoglycerides (PG)/glycerophospholipids play a key role in cell signaling systems. It also serves as an anchor for proteins in cell membranes.
