General description
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) accounts for more than 50% of the phospholipids composing mammalian plasma membranes and is particularly enriched in the extracellular leaflet. PC is synthesized in the liver and is required for lipoprotein assembly and secretion. PC is cleaved by phospholipase D, which hydrolyses the choline head, producing the signaling intermediate phosphatidic acid.
Application
Phosphatidylcholine Assay Kit has been used to determine the concentration of phosphatidylcholine in samples.[1][2][3]
Suitability
Suitable for the measurement of phosphatidylcholine in a variety of biological samples
Principle
In this assay, PC concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme reaction, which results in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the PC present.
