1-MYRISTOYL-2-[6-[(7-NITRO-2-1,3-BENZOXADIAZOL-4-YL)AMINO]CAPROYL]-SN-GLYCERO-3-PHOSPHOCHOLINE

Acyl 06:0 NBD PC may be used:

• as a supplement in ice-cold synthetic defined (SD) medium for yeast cultures for flow cytometry studies
• as a fluorescent marker in hyaluronan-phospholipid based medium (HA–phospholipid medium) for culturing cartilage cells and to visualize lipid vesicle formation
• in the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) and fluorescence-labeled supported lipid bilayer (SLB) for fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) studies

Lipids th at are labeled with NBD (7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) are useful in lipid membranes dynamics studies. Acyl 06:0 NBD PC is used as yeast extract–peptone–dextrose (YPD) medium component in yeast uptake studies to decipher its incorporation.
