1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

Description:
1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, commonly referred to as palmitoylphosphatidylcholine (PPC), is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cellular membranes. It is characterized by a glycerol backbone esterified with a palmitic acid (a saturated fatty acid) at the sn-1 position and a phosphocholine group at the sn-3 position. This amphiphilic molecule exhibits both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it essential for membrane structure and function. PPC is a major component of biological membranes, contributing to membrane fluidity and integrity. It is also involved in various biological processes, including cell signaling and lipid metabolism. The substance is typically found in a liquid crystalline state at physiological temperatures, facilitating its role in membrane dynamics. Additionally, it has applications in drug delivery systems and nanotechnology due to its biocompatibility and ability to form liposomes. Its CAS number, 17364-16-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
