DOPE-PEG is a versatile phospholipid derivative with unique properties that make it suitable for various applications. Its hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature enables efficient encapsulation and delivery of drugs and nucleic acids, making it a valuable tool in drug delivery systems and gene therapy. Additionally, DOPE-PEG can enhance the stability and circulation time of liposomes, improving their efficacy as drug carriers. The transferrin receptor (TfR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose function is to mediate iron absorption through its interaction with transferrin. In normal cells, the expression level of the receptor is low, and the expression of the transferrin receptor in zhongliu cells (such as lung adenocarcinoma, chronic lymphocytic baixuebing and non-Hodgkin tumor) is significantly increased due to the increased demand for iron in rapidly growing cells [2-4]. At present, two transferrin receptors, TfR1 and TfR2, have been found, both of which are type II transmembrane glycoproteins that bind to transferrin and mediate iron absorption. TfR1 is expressed in many cells (such as red blood cells, hepatocytes, monocytes), and can change its conformation according to the change of environmental pH, and convert the results of conformational change into a change in the binding strength of transferrin. TfR2 is mainly expressed in the liver, and its main function may be to regulate and maintain the homeostasis of iron ions in the body, while its role in transporting iron ions to rapidly dividing tissues is weak. Using the effective targeting function of transferrin receptor, the cross-linking of transferrin and drugs can improve the specific binding ability of drugs, but also improve the effect.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
