Beschreibung

2,3-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine is a synthetic lipid that is used as a surfactant in biological research. It is a proton donor that destabilizes membranes and interacts with phosphatidylcholine. The deformation of the lipid bilayer may be due to its protonation state. This synthetic lipid has been shown to increase fluidity of the membrane by changing the acyl chain composition and surfactant properties. 2,3-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine also increases membrane transport by interacting with the bilayer and forming lamellar structures. The enantiomeric form of this lipid has been found to be more effective than its racemic mixture in the inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis.
