Merck, 850368C-25MG, 20:0 PC

General description
The mucosal layer of the colon has phosphatidylcholine (PC) as a vital constituent.
The list of Phosphatidylcholine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C3-C8 are water soluble and hygroscopic), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PC′s. All of the products are purified by HPLC, and special precautions are taken to protect the products for oxidization and hydrolysis.
Application
20:0 PC has been used in collision cross section (CCS) calibration mixture for lipid identification.
It may be used:
as a component in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) for a two-photon fluorescence microscopy study
to prepare small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) to study the effect of hydrophobic mismatch on gramicidin conformation and organization
as a component in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) to study its interaction with Crotalus atrox-secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2)

Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) may participate in the signaling of neuronal differentiation. It can serve as a surfactant to block the penetrance of bacteria by generating a hydrophobic surface.
Packaging
