Dodecyl Phosphocholine (DPC)

Dodecyl Phosphocholine (DPC) API

Dodecyl Phosphocholine (DPC) is a synthetic zwitterionic detergent widely used in membrane protein research and structural biology, especially in NMR spectroscopy and crystallography.

 
Mechanism & Research:

DPC mimics the natural phospholipid bilayer and helps:

Solubilize and stabilize membrane proteins

Maintain native protein conformation in aqueous solutions

Enable high-resolution NMR structure determination

It is essential for studying G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and other transmembrane proteins.

 
API Features (Gentolex Group):

High purity (≥99%)

Low endotoxin, NMR-grade quality available

GMP-like manufacturing conditions

DPC API is a critical tool for biophysical studies, protein formulation, and drug discovery research.
