The present invention offers a novel asymmetric double-headed lipid capable of forming a stable, nanometer scale micro-tubular aggregated material of containing a sugar and a carboxylic acid at each end.The present invention is an asymmetric double-headed lipid represented by the general formulaR-NHCO- (CH2)n-COOH (in the formula, R represents an aldopyranose radical from which the terminal reducing hydroxyl group is excluded and n is from six to twenty) and a hollow micro-tubular aggregated material formed from the asymmetric double-headed lipid. The external diameter of the micro-tubular aggregated material is 10-300 nm, and the length is 0.3-10 μm. The micro-tubular aggregated material can be manufactured by dispersing the asymmetric double-headed lipid described above in water at pH of two to eight, next heating to 80-100°C to dissolve it and then gradually cooling the aqueous solution obtained.
