Phosphatidylcholine (PC) Colorimetric Assay Kit

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is an important component of eukaryotic cell membranes and a major source of second messenger diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidic acid, and arachidonic acid, which can be further metabolized into other signaling molecules. It is widely found in a variety of foods, especially egg yolks, soy, fish, meat, and some seeds, and it can also be consumed through dietary supplements. PC provides structural stability and fluidity of cell membranes. In the liver, PC is involved in lipid synthesis and transport, helping to maintain lipid balance. As an important component of bile, PC promotes the digestion and absorption of lipid. PC supplements are used to intervene and treat liver diseases such as fatty liver disease and cirrhosis, and are used by athletes to improve physical fitness and endurance. Therefore, the detection of PC has important application value in medical identification, disease management and health evaluation.
The detection principle of this kit: Enzyme catalyze the PC and chromogenic agent to produce, with maximum absorption at 550nm, and the content of PC in the sample can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 550nm.

Small volumes of PC assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2577893 is an assay kit targeting PC. Also known as Phosphatidylcholine (PC) Colorimetric Assay Kit.
