Application

4ME 16:0 PE (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) may be used: in the preparation of planar lipid bilayers in the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) for electrophysiology studies to form virtually solvent-free planar lipid membranes

Biochem/physiol Actions

Diphytanoyl lipids is usually preferred as model membranes in electrophysiological experiments. Diphytanoyl phosphocholine (DPhPC) is capable of preparing oxidation-resistant, stable lipid bilayers for in vitro experiments.

General description

4ME 16:0 PE (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) is a conical and neutral lipid. It is a fatty acid modified lipid. It is a phytanoyl lipid.
