PE

DMPE is primarily used to prepare liposomes that can deliver active molecules, making it applicable for biological research and medical applications. As one of the main components of the cell membrane...

1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine in which the 1- and 2-acyl groups are both specified as hexadecanoyl (palmitoyl). It has a role as ...

DSPE is an aminophospholipid present in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. It is one of the most abundant glycerophospholipids in biological membranes and is also present in neural tissue.

As a commonly used helper lipid, DOPE exhibits strong synergistic effects in the preparation of cationic liposomes. Liposomes formulated with DOPE have been developed into commercial transfection reagents and are widely used in basic research. Additionally, DOPE is also an essential helper lipid in cationic lipid formulations and marketed liposomal vaccines such as Epaxal and Inflexal V.
