Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoethanolamine present in cardiac myocytes plays a vital role in the prevention of cell damage after ischemia. N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) supports the sensing of the Red edge excitation shift (REES) phenomenon with the unique motional and dielectric properties it possesses.

General description

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is a fluorescently labeled lipid localized to the membrane interface. The molecule contains NBD as a fluorophore moiety linked to the headgroup of phosphatidylethanolamine. Phosphoethanolamine is the second most abundant, metabolically related aminophospholipid. It is mostly enriched in brain.
