1-Palmitoyl-d9-2-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE

1-Palmitoyl-d9-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE serves as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PE (1,2-DPPE) using GC- or LC-MS. 1,2-DPPE, a prevalent PE (phospholipid), contains C16:0 fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions and is essential in the inner plasma membrane leaflet. This compound forms a condensed lipid monolayer with cholesterol through tight hydrogen bonding between 1,2-DPPE headgroups, enhancing membrane fluidity to support transport and signaling.
