:2-Oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
Description:
2-Oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, commonly referred to as oleoyl-PC, is a phospholipid that plays a significant role in cellular membranes and lipid bilayers. It is characterized by its amphiphilic nature, possessing both hydrophilic (phosphate and choline head group) and hydrophobic (oleoyl fatty acid tail) regions, which allows it to form bilayers in aqueous environments. This compound is a derivative of phosphatidylcholine, where the oleoyl group is a monounsaturated fatty acid that contributes to membrane fluidity and flexibility. Oleoyl-PC is often utilized in biochemistry and cell biology studies, particularly in the context of membrane dynamics, signaling pathways, and drug delivery systems. Its ability to self-assemble into liposomes makes it a valuable component in nanotechnology and pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, it is involved in various biological processes, including cell signaling and membrane fusion. Overall, oleoyl-PC is an essential molecule in both structural and functional aspects of cellular biology.
