1,2-Dipalmiotyl-d31-sn-glycero-3-PC is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC by GC- or LC-MS. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DPPC) is a zwitterionic glycerophospholipid commonly used in the formation of lipid monolayers, bilayers, and liposomes for use in a variety of applications. It has been used in the formation of proteoliposomes for implantation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase into human erythrocyte membranes. Incorporation of glycosphingolipid antigens into DPPC-containing liposomes increases the immunogenicity of the antigens in mice.
