1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC

1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (POPC) is a phospholipid containing 16:0 and 18:1 fatty acids at thesn-1 andsn-2 positions, respectively. It belongs to a class of phospholipids that are a major component of biological membranes. This compound can be used for liposome production in order to study the properties of lipid bilayers.
1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPhtCho), is a phosphatidylcholine, that belongs to a class of phospholipids that are a major component of biological membranes. This compound has been shown to decrease the expression of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit GluR1 on the plasma membrane of CA1 region of rat hippocampal slices.
ChEBI: 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine 34:1 in which the 1- and 2-acyl groups are specified as hexadecanoyl (palmitoyl) and 9Z-octadecenoyl (oleoyl) respectively. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a phosphatidylcholine 34:1 and a 1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine betaine. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid and an oleic acid.
POPC is typically considered one of the model lipids for biophysical experiments. The fatty acid composition, i.e., saturated chain in the sn-1 position and unsaturated chain in the sn-2 position, mimics mammalian phospholipid composition. Since the major constituent in Egg PC is 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl PC, POPC is an excellent synthetic substitute for EPC.
