Application

18:1-06:0 NBD PE may be used to analyse the temporal fluorescent pattern of cholesterol-E- Nitrobenzoxadiazole (Chol-E-NBD).

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) phosphoethanolamine (NBD PE) is used as a fluorescent analog in the studies of organization and dynamics of membranes. Phosphoethanolamine (PE) functions as a substrate for a number of phospholipids of the cell membrane.

General description

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