sn-glycero-3-Phosphocholine

Description:
Sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, commonly referred to as GPC, is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cellular membranes and signaling. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphocholine head group. This amphiphilic nature allows GPC to form bilayers, making it essential in the formation of lipid membranes. GPC is soluble in water due to its polar head group, while the fatty acid tails provide hydrophobic properties. It is often used in biochemical research and has applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in studies related to neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement. Additionally, GPC is recognized for its potential health benefits, including its role in supporting brain health and cognitive function. Its CAS number, 28319-77-9, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases. Overall, GPC is a significant compound in both biological systems and various industrial applications.
