Names

[ CAS No. ]:
207131-40-6

[ Name ]:
1,2-Diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC

Biological Activity

[Description]:

DPhPC is a phospholipid used to synthesize bilayer vesicles. DPhPC bilayers do not permit ions to leak in the absence of a pore/ion channel, which can be used for studies on channel proteins[1][2].
