16:0 PEG2000 PE(Cat No.:I043446)is a lipid compound composed of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid (palmitic acid, 16:0) attached to a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain with a molecular weight of 2000 Da, linked to a phosphoethanolamine (PE) headgroup. This lipid is commonly used in drug delivery systems, nanomedicine, and liposomal formulations due to the PEGylation, which improves the solubility, stability, and biocompatibility of liposomes. The 16:0 fatty acid tail promotes membrane insertion, while the PEG2000 chain reduces immune recognition, enhancing the circulation time and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.
