1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (Synonyms: sn3Dioleoyllecithin, 1,2Dioleoylsnglycero3Phosphocholine, 1,2DOPC, PDD 111)

1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DOPC) is an unsaturated phospholipid containing two oleic acid chains (18:1) and is commonly used for the formation of micelles, liposomes, and other types of artificial membranes^[1]. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC can incorporate purified proteins from dodecyl-β-D-maltopyranoside (DDM) to form mixed PC-DDM micelles ^[2]. It can form stable phospholipid bilayers, which are utilized to study structural changes in multi-component biological membranes under various physiological conditions ^[3]. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is also used for the encapsulation of drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids ^[4]. As a neutral lipid, 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC has minimal impact on cell signaling and can be used as a control to distinguish the specific effects of phosphatidic acid (PA) on Hippo signaling ^[5].
