General description

4ME 16:0 Diether PC or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is an archaeal phospholipid having two phytane chains attached to the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone by ether bonds. It has choline as the alcohol moiety, attached to the phosphate group.

Application

4ME 16:0 Diether PC or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is suitable for the preparation of multilamellar and giant lipid vesicles. It has also been used as a standard to analyze and compare the archaeal abundances in microbial communities based on the phosphoether lipids (PEL) concentrations.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ether lipids are components of membrane structure, influencing the fluidity and fusion of biological membranes. They possess antioxidative action and helps reducing oxidative stress. Cell differentiation and cellular signalling are some of the other physiological processes controlled by ether lipids.
