POPC is a chemical compound. It is a diacylglycerol and phospholipid. The full name is 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It is an important phospholipid for biophysical experiments and has been used to study various subjects such as lipid rafts. POPC also used in systems mimicking the cell membrane such as Nanodiscs[1]. It is available commercially synthetically[2] and is naturally present in eukaryotic cell membranes.
