L-α-phosphatidylcholine
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) was first found in egg yolk and thus is
also known as “lecithin”. It is the most abundant
phospholipid component of all mammalian cell biological membranes.
PC generally comprises 40-50% of total cellular phospholipids, even
though membranes of different cell types, individual organelles, or
even the two leaflets of organelle consist of distinct phospholipid
compositions, PC has a cylindrical shape due to the similar in
width of polar head and the hydrophobic tail, such shape tends to
form monolayers that are flat or almost flat.
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is one-tailed lipid modeled as an
inverted cone, hence, has a positive spontaneous curvature and
tends to form micelle with the polar head directed outward.
As a leader in the field of lipid-based drug delivery, Creative
Biolabs has years of experience in lipid-based carrier development.
We can provide custom synthesized lipid as you need.
