Application

14:0-06:0 NBD PC may be used as a fluorescent marker in the preparation of hyaluronan (HA)-phospholipid medium for tribological studies against live cartilage. It might also be used as a substrate for type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases), in the directed evolution approach to examine the molecular mechanisms of substrate backbone discrimination.

Biochem/physiol Actions

7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl phosphatidylcholine (NBD PC) functions as a fluorescent lipid analog, used in biological membranes to study various cellular processes. It plays a vital role as a strong bilayer-forming lipid.

General description

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotes and prime metabolite of glycerolipid metabolism. It is a vital component of the mucosal layer of the colon. NBD PC is a fluorophore with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) labeled to the phosphatidylcholine.
