Uses
Egg NBD PE may be used along with red blood cell membranes for the preparation of nano absorbents. It may also be used as a fluorescent probe to label 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero3-phosphocholine (DPPC) double bilayer for fluorescence microscopy studies.
Biological Activity
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) helps to activate factor (F)X and PT, thereby stimulating thrombosis. It serves as an anticoagulant. PE is essential for the surface expression of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) in cultured neurons.
