Folate-PEG-DMPE

Folic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (Folate-PEG-DMPE) is an amphiphilic PEG lipid combining a di-C14 acyl phospholipid anchor with a defined-length hydrophilic PEG segment. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. The folate terminus supports ligand presentation and receptor-related binding studies, allowing ligand position and PEG chain length to be varied independently. It can be used to construct interfaces in membrane-related systems and nanoparticle formulations, enabling comparisons of anchoring structure, hydrophilic chain length, terminal functionality, and formulation dispersion.
