1 2 diphytanoyl sn glycero 3 phosphocholine dphypc lipid

Manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids
Sourced in United States

1,2 diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPhyPC) is a synthetic lipid compound commonly used in liposome and membrane research applications. It is a phospholipid with a choline headgroup and two branched phytanoyl fatty acid chains. DPhyPC is known for its ability to form stable lipid bilayers and is often used as a model system to study membrane properties and behaviors.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
