Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine

Description:
Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of biological membranes. It is composed of two myristoyl fatty acid chains (C14:0) esterified to a glycerol backbone, with a choline head group attached to the phosphate group. DMPC is a zwitterionic molecule, meaning it carries both a positive and a negative charge, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to form bilayers in aqueous environments. This property is essential for the formation of lipid bilayers in cell membranes, influencing membrane fluidity and permeability. DMPC is often used in biophysical studies and drug delivery systems due to its ability to form liposomes. It has a relatively low phase transition temperature, making it suitable for studies involving membrane dynamics at physiological temperatures. Additionally, DMPC can serve as a model compound for understanding the behavior of more complex membrane systems, making it valuable in both research and pharmaceutical applications.
