General description

Polar Lipid Extract is derived from the total lipid extract by precipitation with acetone followed by extraction of the acetone insoluble material with diethyl ether.
The Soy Extract Polar (SPE) comprises majorly phosphatidylcholine (45.7%), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE 22.1%) and phosphatidylinositol (PI, 18.4%). It also has phosphatidic acid (PA, 6.9%) and a mixture of other unknown lipids (6.9%). Soybean is the natural source of soy polar extract.

Application

Soy Extract Polar has been used:
  • in the preparation of liposomes for forester resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based assay
  • along with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (sodium salt) (DOPS) to mimic the cell membrane inner leaflet and for the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) connected to a multilamellar vesicle (MLV)
  • in liposome preparation for the generation of GUV-MLV reservoirs

Biochem/physiol Actions

Soy Extract Polar (SPE) is useful in the preparation of unilamellar liposomes and also nanotube networks. The hockey-puck-like structure of the SPE provides a native lipid membrane for various studies.
