DSPE-PEG36-Folate is a monodisperse PEG-phospholipid molecule that self-assembles into micelles or lipid bilayers in aqueous environments. The folate moiety enables targeted delivery by binding specifically to folate receptors, which are overexpressed in various cancer cell types. This amphiphilic polymer is commonly used in the development of targeted nanotherapeutics, including folate-receptor-mediated liposomal drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. The lengthy PEG chain imparts water solubility. Reagent grade, for research use only.
