1-Margaryl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MOPC) is a structurally defined species of phosphatidylcholine (PC). Characterized by its specific heptadecanoyl (C17:0) and oleoyl (C18:1) acyl chains, MOPC is frequently utilized as a reference standard in quantitative lipidomics and membrane biochemistry. PC constitutes the majority of animal cell membrane mass, providing structural stability and maintaining the lipid barrier.
