Application

18:1-06:0 NBD PE has been used as a liposomal supplement for protein reconstitution into liposomes and scrambling experiments. It may also be used to analyse the temporal fluorescent pattern of Chol-E-NBD.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) plays a vital role as a fluorescent probe in the studies of organization and dynamics of membranes. Phosphoethanolamine (PE) acts as a substrate for several phospholipids of the cell membrane.

General description

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is a fluorescent probe where the fluorescent NBD label is attached to the headgroup of phosphatidylethanolamine. The NBD moiety is known to localize to the membrane interface. Phosphoethanolamine is the second most abundant andmetabolically related aminophospholipid. It is mostly enriched in brain.
