| Application: | L-α-Phosphatidylcholine has been used in differential lipid partitioning experiments of xenobiotics and natural compounds to determine trioleoylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) coefficients (KTG/PC) for partitioning of lipophilic chemicals. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | A major structural phospholipid in brain, comprising approx. 15% of total lipid; primarily localized to gray matter. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phosphatidylcholine serves as a reservoir for several lipid messengers. Phosphatidylcholine is used for the preparation of vesicle suspensions, commonly called liposomes or monolayers. |
| General description: | Phosphatidylcholine is the major membrane phospholipid in eukaryotic cells. This structural component of the cellular membrane is the source of the bioactive lipids lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol, lysophosphatidylcholine, platelet-activating factor, and arachidonic acid. |
