Product Description
16:0 PC (DPPC) is a phospholipid molecule consisting of a palmitoyl (16:0) fatty acid chain attached to the sn-1 position of a glycerol backbone with a phosphorylcholine headgroup. It is a major component of biological membranes, contributing to their structural integrity and fluidity.
Application:
16:0 PC (DPPC) is widely used in liposome and lipid bilayer research as a model membrane lipid due to its well-defined phase transition behavior. It is also utilized in drug delivery systems, pulmonary surfactants, and membrane protein studies.
