General description

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a glycerophospholipid. This nonbilayer-forming phospholipid has a cone shape due to the presence of its head group.

Application

08:0 PE (1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) may be used in the preparation of DOPC liposomes for pH sensor conjugation in imaging pH changes in living cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) plays a vital role in the structure and function of eukaryotic membranes. It serves as a lipid chaperon. It is known to participate in the initiation of autophagy. The hexagonal phase of PE is involved in membrane fusion events.

Phase separation in films of phospholipids and conjugated polymers results in nanoassemblies because of a difference in the physicochemical properties between the hydrophobic polymers and the polar lipid heads, together with the comparable polymer side-chain lengths to lipid tail lengths

The glycerophospholipids phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) account for greater than 50% of the total phospholipid species in eukaryotic membranes and thus play major roles in the structure and function of those membranes. In most eukaryotic cells, PC and PE

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is the second most abundant phospholipid in mammalian cells. PE comprises about 15-25% of the total lipid in mammalian cells; it is enriched in the inner leaflet of membranes, and it is especially abundant in the inner mitochondrial
