Description
16:0 MPB PE is a maleimide-functionalized thiol-reactive lipid with a phosphoethanolamine linked to two palmitic acid tails and a phenyl maleimide group. For research purposes only.
Uses
16:0 maleimidophenyl butyramide (MPB) phosphoethanolamine (PE) is suitable for use:
- for preparation of maleimide-functionalized microbubbles
- for lipidation of ligand binding site-1 (LBS-1) peptide and GABAA receptor-associated protein (GABARAP) involved in liposome and autophagosome formation, respectively
- for preparation of ligand-conjugated acoustic perfluorocarbon emulsion nanoparticles
General Description
16:0 maleimidophenyl butyramide (MPB) phosphoethanolamine (PE) also known as, DPPE-maleimide contains maleimide, which is a thiol-reactive moiety and a good electrophile. MPB PE is implicated in liposome preparation.
