Description
General Description
DMPA is an anionic phospholipid belonging to the phosphatidic acid (PA) family. It contains two myristic acid (C14:0) chains esterified to a glycerol backbone and a phosphate head group present as the sodium salt.
As a key membrane lipid, phosphatidic acid plays important roles in membrane curvature, lipid signaling, membrane fusion, and vesicle formation. DMPA is frequently utilized as a model phospholipid in liposome preparation, membrane interaction studies, lipid-protein binding investigations, and nanoparticle formulation development.
Due to its well-defined structure and high purity, DMPA serves as a valuable reagent for pharmaceutical, biochemical, and biophysical research applications.
