Description
General description
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.
Application
16:0 PG has been used as a component in internal lipid standard mixture for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)- fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)- mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. It is also suitable to use in liposome flotation assay to study the specificity of protein-lipid interaction.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphoglycerides (PG)/glycerophospholipids play a key role in cell signaling systems. It also serves as an anchor for proteins in cell membranes.
