1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE (1,2-POPE) is a phospholipid that contains palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) and oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659) at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively.1 It is a major component of E. coli lipid bilayers, and vesicles composed of 1,2-POPE can be disrupted by polycationic antimicrobials.1,2 1,2-POPE has been used in combination with other lipids in the formation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for spleen- and liver-specific targeting in mice.3
