General description

3-(N,N-Dimethylpalmitylammonio)propanesulfonate is a zwitterionic detergent.

Application

3-(N,N-Dimethylpalmitylammonio)propanesulfonate has been used in a study to assess the characterization of rat dihydroceramide desaturase. It has also been used in a study to investigate the inhibition of mitochondrial carnitine–acylcarnitine translocase by sulfobetaines. It is also used for extraction of proteins for analysis by chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and electrophoretic methods.

Sulfobetaines (N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonates) have been identified as relatively specific and selective inhibitors of mitochondrial carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase. Thus, sublytic concentrations of sulfobetaines (alkyl = octyl to tetradecyl) inhibit the respiration of rat heart mitochondria supported by added acylcarnitines or pyruvate plus malonate

Studies reported previously from this laboratory have demonstrated that membranes from the pigment epithelium of the vertebrate eye can transform free all-trans-retinol to 11-cis-retinol as well as 11-cis- and all trans-retinyl esters (Bernstein, P. S., Law, W. C., and Rando

The introduction of the double bond in the sphingoid backbone of sphingolipids occurs at the level of dihydroceramide via an NADPH-dependent desaturase, as discovered in permeabilized rat hepatocytes. In the rat, the enzyme activity, which has now been further characterized

Mass spectrometry occupies a central position in most current protein identification schemes. So-called 'mass fingerprinting' techniques rely on composite mass patterns of proteolytic fragments, or dissociation products thereof, to query databases. Keys to successful analysis of ever smaller amounts are

We have analyzed the efficacies of seven different organic solvents, 13 organic bases, and 17 detergents to dissociate electroblotted proteins from nitrocellulose. Most efficient were a 1% piperidine-40% acetonitrile mixture and 1% concentrations of either cetyltrimethylammonium bromide or several polyoxyethylene
