LysoPC is generated through hydrolysis of the sn-2 acyl chain of PC by phospholipase A2. It is a major component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein and is believed to have an important role in inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis. LysoPC is the substrate for Autotaxin/LysoPLD generating lysophosphatidic acid which has an important role in cell motility. The biotin 18:0 LysoPC analog is biotinylated at the end of the sn-1 acyl chain and can be used for binding to streptavidin-coated surfaces such as beads, plates, etc.
