Notes: 1,2-Dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (1,2-DLPC) is a phospholipid containing the medium-chain (12:0) lauric acid inserted at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It is commonly used in the generation of micelles, liposomes, and other types of artificial membranes.{24294,24292,24293} Experimentally, 1,2-DLPC is used to form thinner membranes than those produced with PC containing the more common long-chain or very long-chain fatty acids, or to simply vary membrane formulation.{24293,24295}
