Description
General description
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a prime metabolite in eukaryotes glycerolipid metabolism, mainly synthesized in liver. It is a major element of lipoproteins, bile and lung surfactant. NBD PC contains 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) covalently attached to phosphatidylcholine.
Application
18:1-06:0 NBD PC is suitable for:
the generation giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) subjected to fluorescence microscopy
labelling lipid bilayers formed by vesicle fusion in order to study the lipid distribution by fluorescence microscopy
the preparation of phospholipid-coated beads
Biochem/physiol Actions
7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl phosphatidylcholine (NBD PC) functions as a fluorescent analog in biological membranes in order to study the cellular processes.
