Description

• General description: Brain Extract Polar comprises phosphatidylethanolamine as major lipid component. It also contains phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine. The minor components include the phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol.
• Application: Brain Extract Polar has been used as an artificial membrane solution component for permeability studies.[1] It may be used for coating donor plate during parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) to study blood-brain barrier penetration.[2] It may be used in liposome preparation for dynamin self-assembly assay.[3]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Brain lipid, especially the polar fraction plays a key role in the inhibition of prion seeded amyloid formation.[4] Lipid extracts from the mammalian tissues like brain, kidney and liver are used in generating model membranes for mimicking real membranes.[5]
