    Product Description

    1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (1,2-DPPC) is a zwitterionic glycerophospholipid commonly used in the formation of lipid monolayers, bilayers, and liposomes for use in a variety of applications.1,2,3,4 It has been used in the formation of proteoliposomes for implantation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase into human erythrocyte membranes.3 Incorporation of glycosphingolipid antigens into 1,2-DPPC-containing liposomes increases the immunogenicity of the antigens in mice.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
