1-palMitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (sodiuM salt) Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

POPG; PG(16:0/18:1), also known as 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol, is a phospholipid with phosphate group attached to glycerol. The tails consist of saturated fatty acid (palmitic acid/16:0) and unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid/18:1).

Uses

16:0-18:1 PG has been used in liposome preparation. It is suitable for use as a component in monoolein to treat purified β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR)-T4 lysozyme (T4L)- Gαs α5 helix (GsCT)-CC?chimera?protein and in lipid vesicle preparation.

Uses

1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1''-rac-glycerol) Sodium Salt is useful for various surfactant applications.

General Description

Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membrane?bilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chain?fatty acids,?esterified to?hydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol and?phosphoric acid?esterified to the C3?hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoglycerides (PG)/glycerophospholipids play a key role in cell signaling systems. It also serves as an anchor for proteins in cell membranes.
