Phytochelatin 2, a short plant peptide, serves as an essential metal-binding compound. Phytochelatins are a diverse group of plant compounds that play a crucial role in chelating metals, safeguarding against metal toxicity, and maintaining metal homeostasis.
1-Stearoyl-2-15(S)-HETE-sn-glycero-3-PC is a phospholipid that contains stearic acid at the sn-1 position and 15(S)-HETE at the sn-2 position. It is produced via oxidation of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC by 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO).
1-Stearoyl-2-15(S)-HpETE-sn-glycero-3-PC is a phospholipid that contains stearic acid at the sn-1 position and 15(S)-HpETE at the sn-2 position. It is produced via oxidation of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC by 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO). 1-Stearoyl-2-15(S)-HpETE-sn-glycero-3-PC is toxic to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at a concentration of 100 μM.
1-Palmitoyl-2-Linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid characterized by the incorporation of palmitic (16:0) and linoleic (18:2) acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively. It is utilized in the creation of micelles, liposomes, and various artificial membranes, playing a significant role in research on lipid peroxidation.
1-Palmitoyl-2-lauroyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (1,2-PLPC) is a phospholipid with palmitoyl (16:0) and lauryl (12:0) acyl chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively. This mixed-chain phosphatidylcholine aids in researching the role of chain-chain contact interactions in maintaining the structural stability of lipid membrane bilayers.
1-O-Hexadecyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC undergoes acylation through the action of CoA-independent transacylase, transforming lyso-PAF C-16 into this compound. It serves as the predominant precursor in the biosynthesis of PAF C-16 via the remodeling pathway.
1-O-Hexadecyl-2-eicosapentaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is a compound that results from the incorporation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) into lyso-PAF C-16, a process demonstrated in neutrophils from monkeys and humans consuming a diet rich in fish oils. Furthermore, it functions as a precursor for PAF C-16 synthesis via the remodeling pathway.
2-Stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (2-Stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC) is a lysophospholipid characterized by the presence of stearic acid at the sn-2 position. This compound has been identified in the myocardium of rabbits.
1-Stearoyl-2-eicosapentaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is a phospholipid comprising stearic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively, identified in human red blood cells (RBCs).
1-1(Z)-Hexadecenyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC, a plasmalogen, appears in various rat tissues including the liver, heart, kidney, and both gluteus and soleus muscles, as well as visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues. It serves in lipid bilayer synthesis to investigate how amphiphilic compounds, like lysophosphatidylcholine (1-palmitoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PC) and lysoplasmenylcholine, influence membrane dynamics.
