Description

Lysophosphatidylethanolamines, Egg are a class of bioactive phospholipids derived from egg lecithin, characterized by a single fatty acid chain attached to the glycerol backbone. These compounds are critical for their role as signaling molecules and membrane components in advanced biological research and pharmaceutical development. They are essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, particularly for studying cell membrane dynamics, lipid metabolism, and developing lipid-based drug delivery systems.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a key component in liposomal and nanoparticle formulations for targeted drug delivery.
• Biochemical Research: Essential reagent for studying phospholipase A2 activity, lipid signaling pathways, and membrane biophysics.
• Cell Culture Supplement: Acts as a lipid source and signaling molecule in specialized serum-free media formulations.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in high-end skincare products for its emulsifying properties and potential skin-barrier repair functions.
• Diagnostic Kits: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic assay kits for clinical diagnostics and research.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into specialized supplements for its bioactive properties, often in combination with other phospholipids.

Quality Control

Our Lysophosphatidylethanolamines, Egg are produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity profile and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, fatty acid composition, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
