Product Information

• Name: 1-Myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is a synthetic phospholipid, which is derived from glycerophospholipids. These are a group of lipids that form the building blocks of biological membranes. The source of 1-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine involves chemical synthesis that replicates naturally occurring phosphatidylethanolamines with the specific inclusion of a myristoyl fatty acid chain. Its mode of action is primarily structural, serving as a key component of lipid bilayers and impacting membrane fluidity and curvature. This property makes it essential in studying the biophysical properties of cell membranes and interactions with membrane proteins.
