General description

MAPCHO™-14 is a fos-choline-based zwitterionic detergent.
Tetradecylphosphocholine is a structural analog of myristoyl lysophosphatidylcholine that is more stable to hydrolytic degradation. The lipid is often used as a detergent for membrane protein solubilization and purification. It has been used as a helper lipid for in vitro and in vivo gene transfer, and it has been shown to have some anticancer activity.

Application

MAPCHO™-14 has been used as a supplement in extraction buffer (RIPA buffer).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fos-choline-14 (N-tetradecylphosphocholine) is mainly used for solubilization and purification of proteins.

Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) transports sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in plasma, and ApoM-deficient mice (Apom(-/-)) have ∼50% reduced plasma S1P levels. There are 5 known S1P receptors, and S1P induces adherens junction formation between endothelial cells through the S1P1 receptor, which in turn

There has been a renewal of interest in interactions of membrane proteins with detergents and lipids, sparked both by recent results that illuminate the structural details of these interactions and also by the realization that some experimental membrane protein structures

The interaction with biological membranes is of functional importance for many peptides and proteins. Structural studies on such membrane-bound biomacromolecules are often carried out in solutions containing small membrane-mimetic assemblies of detergent molecules. To investigate the influence of the hydrophobic
