Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membrane bilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chain fatty acids, esterified to hydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol and phosphoric acid esterified to the C3 hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores
16:0 PG has been used as a component in internal lipid standard mixture for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)- fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)- mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. It is also suitable to use in liposome flotation assay to study the specificity of protein-lipid interaction
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphatidylglycerols. These are glycerophosphoglycerols in which two fatty acids are bonded to the 1-glycerol moiety through ester linkages.
