Description
DOPE (1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) is a neutral "helper" phospholipid commonly utilized in liposomal and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for gene and drug delivery. When paired with cationic or ionizable lipids, DOPE enhances cellular uptake and fusion efficiency, improving the delivery of liposomes and LNPs across a range of cell types. This helper lipid is essential for optimizing formulation performance in both in vitro and in vivo applications. For research use only.
Key Applications:
- Gene delivery, drug delivery, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), liposomes
