Biomembranal Myristoyl-Phosphatidylcholine as a Potential Target of the Cell Injury Activity of Vitamin D Decomposition Products in Eukaryotic Cells

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Vitamin D decomposition products target a myristic acid sidechain of the predominant glycerophospholipid constructed in the biomembranes of Helicobacter pylori, causing gastric cancer in humans, and disrupt the membrane ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Synthesizes Phosphatidylcholine by Use of the Phosphatidylcholine Synthase Pathway [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2002
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a ubiquitous membrane lipid in eukaryotes but has been found in only a limited number of prokaryotes. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes synthesize PC by methylating phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by use of a phospholipid methyltransferase (Pmt).

Improved method for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholines.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1984
An improved method for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholines from phosphatidic acid and choline is described. The technique utilizes the tetraphenylborate salt of choline together with the condensing agent 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride.

Impaired response of biliary lipid secretion to a lithogenic diet in phosphatidylcholine transfer protein-deficient mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PC-TP) is a cytosolic lipid transfer protein that is highly expressed in liver and catalyzes intermembrane transfer of phosphatidylcholines in vitro.

Pulmonary Uptake of Liposomal Phosphatidylcholine [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1980
Liposomes prepared with phosphatidylcholine (PC) labeled with [1-14C]-dipalmitoyl-PC, dicetylphosphate, cholesterol (molar ratio 7:2:1) were injected into the right ear vein of 2-month-old male rabbits. At 5, 60, and 120 min after injection, organs were removed and analyzed for [14C]-PC. Lung, liver, and spleen took up the [14C]-PC by 5 min.

Metabolic Effects of Clenbuterol and Salbutamol on Pork Meat Studied Using Internal Extractive Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Scientific Reports, 2017
Direct mass spectrometry analysis of metabolic effects of clenbuterol and salbutamol on pork quality at the molecular level is incredibly beneficial for food regulations, public health and the development of new anti-obesity drugs.

Lipidomics identifies a requirement for peroxisomal function during influenza virus replication[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Influenza virus acquires a host-derived lipid envelope during budding, yet a convergent view on the role of host lipid metabolism during infection is lacking.
