General description

4ME 16:0 PG (DPhPG/1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol)) is a negatively charged phospholipid. It has 16-carbon long hydrocarbon chains that are methyl-branched. It is a fatty acid modified lipid.

Application

4ME 16:0 PG (DPhPG/1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (sodium salt)) may be used:
  • as a phospholipid standard to quantify phosphatidylglycerol in plant samples by mass spectrometry analysis
  • as a component of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)for electrophysiology studies
  • in the preparation of DPhPC (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/DPhPG vesicles

Biochem/physiol Actions

DPhPG/1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) is used in electrophysiological experiments.

The branched chains in diphytanoyl lipids provide membranes with unique properties, such as high chemical/physical stability, low water permeability, and no gel-to-fluid phase transition at ambient temperature. Synthetic diphytanoyl phospholipids are often used as model membranes for electrophysiological experiments. To
