Application

17:0 PC (1,2-diheptadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) has been used:as an internal standard for phospholipids in fatty acid analysisas a component in the extraction mixture for lipid extraction from frozen leaf tissueas an internal standard and a component in methanol: methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) extraction buffer for the determination of metabolite levels in tumor and normal tissues using gas chromatography-mass spectrometrometer (GC-MS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) serve as a major source for eicosanoids.

General description

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.

Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) are phospholipids, that are abundantly present in the membrane. The fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of PCs are attached to a glycerol molecule covalently with the help of ester bonds.
