What is 1,2-DIOLEOYL-SN-GLYCEROL?

Description

1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol is an analog of the protein kinase C-activating second messenger DAG. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol are nearly equipotent in induction of the acrosome reaction in human sperm.

The Uses of 1,2-DIOLEOYL-SN-GLYCEROL

1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol is an analog of 1,3-Dioleoylglycerol (D4842100 which is used in the synthesis of amphiphilic gadolinium complexes as MRI contrast agents.

The Uses of 1,2-DIOLEOYL-SN-GLYCEROL

18:1 DG may be used:

in the lipid-protein overlay screen assay with Arabidopsis Rho-like GTPases recombinant protein and Arabidopsis plasma membrane H+-ATPase
in the preparation of the Golgi-like liposomes
in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) preparation

What are the applications of Application

1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol is an analog of protein kinase C-activating second messenger DAG

Definition

ChEBI: A 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol in which the acyl groups at positions 1 and 2 are specified as oleoyl.

General Description

Diacylglycerol/diglyceride (DAG) is a glycerolipid, that is located at the plasma membrane. It is made up of two fatty acid chains that are covalently attached to a single glycerol molecule with the help of an ester linkage.

Biochem/physiol Actions

18:1 DG or 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG) fails to prevent the late fission events in the Golgi membrane. DOG is used in ferrihaem π–π tetramer aggregate preparation and β-haematin production.
