| Application: | L-α-Phosphatidylcholine is suitable for use: • as a component of human erythroid massive amplification culture (HEMAdef) medium for clinical expansion of human erythroblasts • in the chloride efflux assay to examine the chloride permeability of lipid vesicles conferred by soluble CLIC1 • in an assay to measure solubilized wax synthase activity • as a component of buffer A used for the resuspension of the cholate-solubilized catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase • as a cryoprotectant for freezing ruminant sperm • as a substrate for the estimation of phospholipase activity • to make liposomes to assess their efficiency of recruitment of ARF (ADP ribosylation factor) and AP-1 (adaptor protein) • in the preparation of the isolated catalytic unit of soluble adenylate cyclase |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | A major structural phospholipid in brain, comprising approx. 15% of total lipid; primarily localized to gray matter. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phosphatidylcholine is the major membrane phospholipid in eukaryotic cells, forming the structural component of these membranes. It also serves as a reservoir for several lipid messengers and a source for several bioactive lipids such as, lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol, lysophosphatidylcholine, platelet activating factor, and arachidonic acid. |
