Description

General description

l-α-phosphatidylcholine constitutes 20% of the total phospholipids in chicken egg. It has palmitic acid (16:0) and oleic acid (18:1) in at sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively.

Egg PC (95%) is a mixture of 16 to 22 carbon atoms long acyl chain containing multiple double bonds. Major portion (98%) of phospholipid contains a single saturated and unsaturated chain.

Egg PC is a further purification of Total Egg Extract. This Natural Lipid is a mixture, and the structure shown above is only representative of one possible structure present in the product. Refer to chart for average fatty acid distribution.

Application

Egg PC (95%) has been used for the reconstitution of purified Kv1.3 into liposomes.

Egg PC (95%) has been used in the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) based nanoparticle for nerve growth factor (NGF) encapsulation. It has also been used in the proteoliposome preparation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Egg PC in its saturated form favors inhibition of cholesterol absorption. It is used in lipid preparation and liposomes for biophysical studies. Egg PC contributes cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by acting as a substrate for microbes leading to of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) synthesis.
