PAzePC 870600 1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are oxidation-specific epitopes that can arise through either enzymatic or non-enzymatic mechanisms. PAzePC, (1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) plays a pivotal role in the intricate biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of cellular membranes. Its multifaceted functions extend to critical roles in cellular communication and neurotransmission processes.

PAzePC is characterized by a unique azelaoyl fatty acid chain and is used extensively in membrane biophysics research. Its distinct structure makes it ideal for studying lipid interactions, lipid membranes, and membrane dynamics.

Featuring carboxyl groups at the ends of its truncated sn-2 chains, this unique structure underpins its role as an oxidized lipid with significant implications in various biological contexts.
