Description
General description
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a prime metabolite of glycerolipid metabolism in eukaryotes. It is a vital component of the mucosal layer of the colon and a strong bilayer-forming lipid. NBD PC has 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) moiety attached to phosphatidylcholine.
Application
18:1-06:0 NBD PC is suitable:
for the generation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) subjected to fluorescence microscopy
for labeling lipid bilayers formed by vesicle fusion in order to study the lipid distribution by fluorescence microscopy
for the preparation of phospholipid-coated beads
Biochem/physiol Actions
7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl phosphatidylcholine (NBD PC) is used as a fluorescent probe in biological membranes to study the cellular processes.
