Notes: 1-Stearoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (1,2-SMPC) belongs to the class of asymmetric phospholipids, which have two chains of unequal length attached to the glycerol backbone. 1,2-SMPC is abundant in biological membranes where it can interdigitate with equal length (symmetric) acyl chain phospholipids in bilayer membranes to potentially minimize the hydrophobic mismatch between acyl chains.{24290}
