Description
1,2-Dipalmitoyl-d
6-
rac-glycero-3-PC is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-
rac-glycero-3-PC by GC- or LC-MS. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-
rac-glycero-3-PC is a phospholipid that contains palmitic acid at the
sn-1 and
sn-2 positions. It has been used as a component of liposomes, monolayers, and bilayers to study the influence of chirality on membrane dynamics.
1,2,3,4 1,2-dipalmitoyl-
rac-glycero-3-PC has been used to study electric field-induced orientation of phospholipid head groups and dynamics of liposomal phase transitions.

Uses
(Rac)-DPPC-d6 is a deuterated labeled DPPC[1]. DPPC (129Y83) is a phosphoglyceride that can be used to prepare lipid monolayers, bilayers, and liposomes. DPPC is the main lipid component of pulmonary surfactant. Dppc-liposome can be effectively used as a delivery vector to induce an immune response against GSL antigen in mice[2][3][4][5][6].
