L-ALPHA-LYSOPHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, STEAROYL Structural

What is L-ALPHA-LYSOPHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, STEAROYL?

Description

Lyso-PC (18:0), also known as 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a lysophosphocoline connceted to hydrophobic fatty acid tail (stearic acid) by a glycerol.

The Uses of L-ALPHA-LYSOPHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, STEAROYL

Stearoyl L-α-Lysolecithin is an bioactive lysophosphatidylcholine derived compound found to be released by bronchial epithelial cells. Stearoyl L-α-Lysolecithin have also been utilized in the development of liposomes and michelles by drug transdermal delivery devices.

The Uses of L-ALPHA-LYSOPHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, STEAROYL

18:0 Lyso PC has been used:

to functionalize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the development of methods to attach DNA to CNTs
to increase the level of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in mouse
to induce TNF receptor associated factor 3 interacting protein 2 (TRAF3IP2) expression in endothelial cells (EC)

What are the applications of Application

1-Stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a chemical used in lipid metabolism studies

Definition

ChEBI: 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a lysophosphatidylcholine 18:0 in which the acyl substituent is located at position 1 and is specified as stearoyl. It has a role as a mouse metabolite and an apoptosis inducer. It is a 1-O-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and a lysophosphatidylcholine 18:0. It is functionally related to an octadecanoic acid.
