{"data":{"id":49,"name":"1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine","abbreviation":"DLPC","description":"<p>1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) is a phosphatidylcholine lipid bearing two lauroyl (12:0) acyl chains at sn-1 and sn-2 positions, yielding a relatively short, symmetric diester PC (PC 12:0\/12:0). Because of its medium chain length, bilayers made from DLPC are thinner and more fluid than those formed from long-chain PCs. DLPC is often used to prepare liposomes, micelles, or model membranes to study membrane dynamics and permeability. In permeability assays, DLPC membranes facilitate higher solute diffusion rates than thicker, more ordered bilayers, making them useful for probing lipid-driven barriers under less restrictive conditions.<\/p>","categories":[{"id":72,"title":"Model","breadcrumb":[{"id":59,"title":"Intestine"},{"id":72,"title":"Model"}]}],"url":"https:\/\/molmedb.upol.cz\/api\/v1\/membranes\/49","landing_page":"https:\/\/molmedb.upol.cz\/membrane\/49","created_at":"2020-11-16T11:06:14.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-06-29T07:28:02.000000Z"}}
