Oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
oxPAPC, or Oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a complex mixture of oxidized phospholipids that includes PGPC, POVPC, PEIPC, and others derived from the oxidation of synthetically pure 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAPC).
To ensure purity and efficacy, unoxidized PAPC is carefully removed during the purification process. This transformation—driven by oxidation—imbues oxPAPC with unique biochemical properties, which makes it a powerful tool for studying lipid-mediated cellular responses and disease mechanisms.
Application
The oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, whether enzymatically or non-enzymatically, produces oxylipins. These bioactive molecules are found in cell membranes, the extracellular matrix, and circulating plasma. Researchers have extensively studied oxPAPC, a key OxPL, for its role in inflammation, atherosclerosis, vascular aging, immune modulation, blood coagulation, and lung endothelial barrier regulation.
Research indicates that endogenous OxPLs contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases such as liver fibrosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and osteoporosis. However, their precise function remains context-dependent, exhibiting pro-inflammatory and protective roles depending on the biological setting. As a research-grade reagent, oxPAPC—along with TopFluor-oxPAPC (810318)—provides an indispensable tool for investigating lipid oxidation processes and their implications in disease and health.
