1,2-dipentadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine

Description:
1,2-Dipentadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, commonly referred to as DPPE, is a phospholipid characterized by its long-chain fatty acid composition and a phosphoethanolamine head group. This compound features two pentadecanoyl (15-carbon) fatty acid chains attached to the glycerol backbone, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the phosphoethanolamine group imparts amphiphilic characteristics, allowing DPPE to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, making it an essential component in biological membranes and liposomal formulations. DPPE is often utilized in biochemistry and molecular biology for applications such as membrane studies, drug delivery systems, and the formation of lipid bilayers. Its stability and ability to form vesicles are crucial for encapsulating therapeutic agents. Additionally, the compound's structural properties influence its phase behavior and interactions with proteins, which are vital for understanding membrane dynamics and cellular processes. Overall, DPPE plays a significant role in various research and industrial applications related to lipid chemistry and membrane biology.
