• Description: 1,2-O-Dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DHEPE) is a lipid used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of carbohydrates. It has been shown to bind to high-mannose type oligosaccharides and to be stable in complex with them. DHEPE has been shown to form complexes with cell nuclei, which may be due to hydrogen bonding interactions between the sugar and phosphate head groups on the glycerol backbone. These interactions are thought to be responsible for the selectivity of DHEPE for mannose residues in cells. DHEPE also forms complexes with x-ray diffraction data, which is indicative of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between this molecule and other hydrophobic molecules. DHEPE's reaction mechanism is not clear, but it has been proposed that it reacts with proteins by reacting with amino groups on these proteins.
