Product Description
Contains primarily palmitic acid. Sphingomyelin (SM) is a principal sphingolipid in mammalian cell membranes. Its biological functions have been studied. Sphingomyelin is suitable for use: in the preparation of standard during the enzymatic measurement of plasma sphingomyelin levels；to study the binding of Vascular Anticoagulant α (VAC α) to planar phospholipid bilayers；to perform fluorescence polarization of PC16 (N-[α-N-palmitoyl-ε-N-(4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)-L-lysine]-2-aminoethanol-N- (trimethylaminoethanol) phosphate) in dispersions of co-sonicated lecithin and sphingomyelin； for reconstitution of viral ion channel protein M2 into liposomes as a standard sample to define spectral fingerproint using Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS)；to evaluate the contribution of various phospholipids to the formation of foam in the amniotic fluid
