Merck, 810130P-1MG, 16:0-06:0 NBD PC

General description
16:0-06:0 NBD PC (1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a fluorescent analogue of phosphatidylcholine.
Application
16:0-06:0 NBD PC (1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) has been used in NBD-phospholipid translocation assay. It may be used as a molecular fluorescent marker to label lipids during the friction tests, as substrate for enzyme substrate specificity determination and in the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles.
Biochem/physiol Actions
16:0-06:0 NBD PC (1-palmitoyl-2-{6-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoyl}-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) acts as a potential fluorescent probe. It is used for the quantification of the soluble and membrane-bound phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) derivatives are widely used as fluorescent analogs of native lipids in biological and model membranes to study a variety of processes.
