Description

General description

Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membrane bilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chain fatty acids, esterified to hydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol and phosphoric acid esterified to the C3 hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores.

Application

16:0-18:1 PG has been used in the preparation of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs).
