Product Information

• Name: 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
• Synonyms: 1-Hexadecanoyl-sn-glycerol-3- phosphorylcholine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phospholipid that is present in the cell membrane of all cells. It is a major component of the pulmonary surfactant and is important for maintaining the integrity of the alveolar type II cells. Lipids are used to prepare samples for analysis, such as urine samples. 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine has been identified as a potential biomarker for oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in humans. The fatty acid composition of 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine can be determined by gas chromatography, which involves a reaction with hydrochloric acid in order to separate fatty acids based on their chain length. A disulfide bond links two amino acid chains together and is necessary for the proper function of many proteins. The hydroxyl group on 1-Palmitoy
