Merck, 780200C-25MG, 16:0 PE MCC

General description
1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[4-(p-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-carboxamide] (16:0 PE MCC) is a lipid that comprises phosphoethanolamine linked to two palmitic acid by its phosphate group and to a maleimide moiety through its amino group. The maleimide group is a thiol acceptor and 16:0 PE MCC is a maleimide-based lipidating reagent.
Application
16:0 PE MCC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-4-(p-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-carboxamide) may be used:
in the preparation of liposomes for conjugation with human immune deficiency virus (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein trimers
in the preparation of oligonucleotide-modified vesicles
in the functionalization of the flat silicon wafers
in lipid vesicle preparation

Biochem/physiol Actions
1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[4-(p-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-carboxamide](1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE)-MCC) in functionalized liposomes aids in covalent attachment via the maleimide group. It acts as a vehicle in peptide transport studies.
