Application

12:0 PC (DLPC/1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used as a standard to quantify phosphatidylcholine. It has also been used as a lipid standard in the optimization of the liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method conditions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) has the ability to block the penetrance of bacteria by acting as a surfactant.

General description

The mucosal layer of the colon has phosphatidylcholine (PC). PCs carry fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, that are covalently attached to a glycerol through ester bonds.

The list of Phosphatidylcholine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C3-C8 are water soluble and hygroscopic), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PC′s. All of the products are purified by HPLC, and special precautions are taken to protect the products for oxidization and hydrolysis.
