Application

23:0 PC may be used:in unilamellar liposomes preparation to study its interaction with single-strand phosphorothioate oligonucleotides (ONs)as an internal standard to validate the extracted lipids from bovine plasmaas an internal standard to quantify fatty acids and cholesterol in H1299 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) can serve as a surfactant to block the penetrance of bacteria by generating a hydrophobic surface.

General description

The mucosal layer of the colon has phosphatidylcholine (PC) as a vital constituent. PCs have fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, that are covalently attached to a glycerol with the help of ester bonds.

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.
