2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (CAS 35418-58-7)

2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phospholipid that contains palmitic acid and arachidonic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. 2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine can be found naturally in biological membranes. In vivo, 2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is oxidized, and its products are involved in chronic inflammation and vascular disease. 2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine has been utilized in the studies of oxidized phospholipid signaling. Isolated human myeloma cells showed decreased levels of 2-Arachidonoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
