LIVER PC

Application

Liver PC is suitable for use:as a standard for quantitation of tumor derived lipids by thin layer chromatographyin the preparation of liposomes to mimic mammalian membranesin lipid vesicle preparation to study intravesicular transfer of α-tocopherol fluorescent derivative (NBD-Toc)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) plays a key role in the synthesis of second messenger and signaling molecules like diacyl glycerol, lysophosphatidic acid, phosphatidic acid and arachidonic acid. Liver PC has a saturated to unsaturated fatty acid ratio of 0.91.

General description
