Common Name1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine
Description1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine is a phospholipid belonging to the class of glycerophospholipids. Its chemical structure features a glycerol backbone esterified with two hexadecanoyl fatty acid chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, and a phosphoserine headgroup at the sn-3 position, which imparts anionic properties. This lipid plays a significant role in membrane dynamics and cellular signaling pathways. It is involved in the formation of lipid bilayers that mimic nontumorigenic cell membranes, as demonstrated in studies where it was selected for simulations of such membranes (PMID:38728807 ). Additionally, 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine has been shown to affect the structural properties of lipid monolayers, indicating its influence on membrane stability and interactions, as observed in experiments that revealed shifts in surface pressure-area isotherms compared to other phospholipids (PMID:23664393 ). These characteristics underscore its importance in biophysical studies and potential applications in drug delivery and membrane biology.
