Product Information

• Name: 1-Myristoyl-2-[4-(4-biphenyl)butanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Myristoyl-2-[4-(4-biphenyl)butanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phospholipid that contains a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic fatty acid chains. The myristic acid residue in the head of this molecule is bound to four phosphate groups, which are attached to the glycerol backbone at carbon atoms 3 and 4. These phosphate groups are linked to the hydrocarbon chain with a bond at carbon 1 and 2. This phospholipid has been shown to be able to form bilayers, which are lipid membranes that separate the inside from the outside of cells. It can also bind ionized chloride ions in water, as well as other anions like bromide or iodide. This phospholipid may have potential use in biological systems for electron microscopy, microscopy, or as an acceptor for reactions with biomembranes.
