Cho-Arg (trifluoroacetate salt)

SKU: orb1693815

Description

Cho-Arg is a cationic steroid lipid derived from cholesterol and L-arginine, designed for nucleic acid delivery. It effectively complexes with and transfects plasmid DNA into mammalian cell lines via lipid raft and caveolae-mediated endocytosis pathways. This transfection reagent is applicable for in vitro gene delivery studies, though it exhibits cytotoxicity at higher concentrations.
