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. 16:0-18:1 PG/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (POPG) is an anionic lipid, which possesses one negative charge per lipid.
Application
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.
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.
