C16-18:1 PC

一般描述

C16-18:1 PC, also called as 1-O-hexadecyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (HOPC), is a member of platelet-activating factor (PAF) family of glycerophospholipids. HOPC is a mono-ether PC containing ester-linked 18:1 chain (oleoyl) at the sn-2 position and an ether-linked 16:0 chain (hexadecyl) at the sn-1 position.

应用

C16-18:1 PC or 1-O-hexadecyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine may be used in the liposome binding assay. It may also be used as a lipid standard for quantification of glycerophosphocholine by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
