18:1-12:0 NBD PG

Application

18:1-12:0 NBD PG might be used to study the use of fluorescence as a means of tracking the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in live cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is involved in the inflammatory mechanism and offers protection against viral infection.(6) It also contributes to the photosynthetic activity by maintaining the structural photosynthetic apparatus.

General description

Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is an anionic phospholipid. Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is mostly found in the pulmonary surfactant and localized to the alveoli.(6) Nitrobenzoxadiazole phosphoglycerol (NBD PG) is a fluorescent analog with the fluorophore, 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) linked to the fatty acid chain of the phosphatidylglycerol.
