1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol)

POPG, or 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol), represents a distinct semi-synthetic lipid with a unique structural composition derived from palmitic and oleic acids, glycerol, and a racemic glycerol backbone. This composition imparts distinctive characteristics to POPG, making it a valuable asset in membrane research, particularly in studies focusing on lipid-protein interactions, membrane dynamics, and cellular processes.

  • Palmitic and Oleic Acid Derivation: Synthesized from palmitic and oleic acids, POPG combines saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in its acyl chains.

  • Racemic Glycerol Backbone: POPG is characterized by the presence of a racemic glycerol backbone, introducing an additional layer of structural diversity compared to conventional glycerophospholipids.

  • Glycerol Headgroup: The glycerol headgroup of POPG renders it amphiphilic, contributing to its ability to form lipid bilayers and participate in membrane mimicking.

Applications in Membrane Research

  • Influence on Lipid-Protein Interactions: The unique structural features of POPG, including its acyl chains and racemic glycerol backbone, make it an ideal candidate for investigating the influence of lipid composition on lipid-protein interactions in biological membranes.

  • Membrane Mimicking: POPG, with its amphiphilic nature, is employed to mimic natural lipid bilayers, creating environments suitable for studying membrane dynamics and the behavior of proteins within lipid membranes.

  • Cellular Process Exploration: Due to its relevance in cellular membranes, POPG finds applications in understanding cellular processes, contributing to research in cell biology and biochemistry.
