Cholesterol-PEG(2000)-Maleimide

Cholesterol-PEG(2000)-maleimide is a PEGylated form of cholesterol (Cay9003100, Cay39088, Cay39448) that contains maleimide, which can react with the thiol group in cysteine residues to form a stable thioether bond. It has been used to anchor an alpha2-antiplasmin (alpha2-AP) peptide to perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsions for use as thrombus-targeted contrast agents in a mouse model of pulmonary thromboembolism..
