The Composition and Role of Phosphatidylglycerol in Liposome Technology
Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is a type of phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function. It consists of two fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol backbone, with a phosphate group and a small polar head group attached to one end. PG is a significant component of bacterial membranes, particularly in cytoplasmic membranes and chloroplast thylakoid membranes. Structurally, PG contributes to the fluidity and stability of cell membranes, influencing various cellular processes. Get more information on:
