D-A-phosphatidylcholine

Description:

D-A-Phosphatidylcholine, identified by its CAS number 117985-57-6, is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cellular membranes and lipid bilayers. It is characterized by its amphiphilic nature, possessing both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, which allows it to form bilayers essential for membrane structure. This compound is a derivative of phosphatidylcholine, featuring a specific stereochemistry that influences its biological activity and interactions. D-A-Phosphatidylcholine is involved in various physiological processes, including cell signaling, membrane fluidity, and lipid metabolism. It is also a key component in the formulation of liposomes and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and ability to encapsulate therapeutic agents. Additionally, it can serve as a source of choline, an essential nutrient important for neurotransmitter synthesis and overall brain health. Its stability and functionality make it a valuable substance in both research and pharmaceutical applications.
