General description

1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) is synthesized from unsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) by direct de novo synthesis via α1,2-dipalmitoyl diacylglycerol intermediate. The enzyme cholinephosphotransferase catalyzes the conversion of 1,2-dipalmitoyl diacylglycerol to DPPC. Synthesis of DPPC also occurs via remodeling pathway involving deacylation of unsaturated PC.

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.

Application

16:0 PC (DPPC) has been used in the generation of thymoquinone (TQ) liposomes, gold nanorods and calcium chloride encapsulated liposomes and bilayers for biophysical studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) is a surfactant and reduces surface tension. It is used in combination with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) for lipid bilayer generation. DPPC alone and in combination with other phospholipid is effective in drug encapsulation and delivery.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA

Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.

Aldrich Products

For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.

Not Finding What You Are Looking For?

In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.

Interactions of calcium (Ca2+) and zinc (Zn2+) cations with biomimetic membranes made of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) were studied by small angle neutron diffraction (SAND). Experiments show that the structure of these lipid bilayers is differentially affected by the two divalent cations.
