Application

16:0-06:0 NBD PE is suitable for the determination of enzyme substrate specificity of lipoteichoic acid synthase (LtaS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoethanolamine (PE) acts as a substrate for several phospholipids of the cell membrane. N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) aids in monitoring the Red edge excitation shift (REES) effects with its unique motional and dielectric properties.

General description

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is a fluorescent probe which contains NBD attached to the headgroup of phosphatidylethanolamine and localized at the membrane interface. Phosphoethanolamine is the second most abundant, metabolically related aminophospholipid. It is mostly enriched in brain.
