1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol

ALN29882 is a glycerolipid located on the plasma membrane. It consists of two fatty acid chains covalently linked to a single glycerol molecule by means of an ester bond. 18:1 DG has been used as a source of diacylglycerol in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) assay. It is also used as a substrate in the DGAT-1 enzyme assay to evaluate compounds as potential inhibitors of DGAT-1. Suitable for lipoprotein overlay screening assays with the recombinant protein His-AtROP6.
