1,2-dipalMitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolaMine-N-[4-(p-MaleiMidophenyl)butyraMide] (sodiuM salt)

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.
