Biochem/physiol Actions

DOTAP (1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane) is a cationic lipid, used for in vitro and in vivo nucleic acid and protein delivery. The lipid composition and cell type affects the transfection potential of DOTAP. DOTAP mediates gene knockdown technique in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
