Bioactivity: Typical lots of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine have fatty acid contents of approximately 33% 16:0 (palmitic), 13% 18:0 (stearic), 31% 18:1(oleic), and 15% 18:2 (linoleic) (other fatty acids being minor contributors), which would give an average molecular weight of approximately 768. Phospholipids are reported to alter the fatty acid composition and microstructure of the membranes in animal cells.
Molecular Weight: 758, 075
