DEPC, also known as 1,2-dierucoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a phospholipid containing the unsaturated long-chain (22:1) oleic acid inserted at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It is commonly used alone, or with other components, in the generation of micelles, liposomes, and other types of artificial membranes.
22:1 (Cis) PC has been used as in the preparation of model membrane mimicking T-cell (LM3). It is suitable for use to study about lipid dynamics and also to investigate the effect of cholesterol on it.
1,2-Dierucoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DEPC) is the composition of liposome membrane, it is used for the preparation of liposomes and studying the properties of lipid bilayers.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is capable of forming a strong bilayer.
