General description

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is one of the most important constituent of colon′s mucosal layer. 14:0-18:0 PC (1-myristoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is an asymmetrical lipid with long alkyl side chain.

Application

14:0-18:0 PC (1-myristoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
  • in lipid bilayers to study its miscibility with d-erythro-N-palmitoyl-sphingomyelin (16:0-SM) using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
  • as an asymmetrical lipid component in liposomes to study the impact of bilayer area and lipid geometry and as liposomal solubilizing agents
  • to prepare a low temperature-sensitive liposome for thrombolytic studies

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) forms a hydrophobic surface in the mucus by acting as a surfactant resulting in the inhibition of penetrance of bacteria.
