General description

Brain Extract Polar comprises phosphatidylethanolamine as major lipid component. It also contains phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine. The minor components include the phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol.
Brain 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.

Application

Brain Extract Polar has been used as an artificial membrane solution component for permeability studies. It may be used for coating donor plate during parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) to study blood-brain barrier penetration. It may be used in liposome preparation for dynamin self-assembly assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brain lipid, especially the polar fraction plays a key role in the inhibition of prion seeded amyloid formation. Lipid extracts from the mammalian tissues like brain, kidney and liver are used in generating model membranes for mimicking real membranes.
