Description
DOTAP methylsulfate is a cationic lipid reagent and a trimethylammonium cation derivative, with two octadecanoic fatty acid chains in its molecular structure, each containing one unsaturated alkene bond. DOTAP can self-assemble with negatively charged nucleic acids such as DNA via electrostatic interactions to form complexes, which enter cells through electrostatic adsorption and endocytosis. The hydrophobic domain of DOTAP promotes endosomal membrane fusion and facilitates nucleic acid release into the cytoplasm, thereby achieving efficient gene delivery. Currently, DOTAP methylsulfate is widely used in gene therapy, in vitro cell transfection, non-viral vector construction, and related research fields.
