1-Palmitoylphosphatidylcholine

Description:

1-Palmitoylphosphatidylcholine, also known as palmitoyl lecithin, is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cellular membranes. It is characterized by a glycerol backbone esterified to two fatty acid chains, with palmitic acid being the saturated fatty acid at the sn-1 position and a choline head group at the sn-3 position. This amphiphilic nature, with a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails, allows it to form bilayers in aqueous environments, making it essential for membrane structure and function. It is commonly found in biological membranes and is involved in various cellular processes, including signaling and membrane fluidity. Additionally, 1-Palmitoylphosphatidylcholine is often used in laboratory settings for liposome preparation and as a model membrane component in studies of membrane dynamics. Its CAS number, 17364-18-0, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases. Overall, this compound is significant in both biological systems and biophysical research.

1-Palmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine

CAS: 17364-18-0

1-Palmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a biological lipid that has been shown to be a potent growth factor for cells in culture. It binds to DNA and modulates transcriptional regulation. 1-Palmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine also inhibits the production of lysophosphatidylcholine, which is an inflammatory mediator that promotes the release of histamine from mast cells. This compound may be useful as an antimicrobial agent, as it has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
