1,2-Dioleoyl-3-palmitoylglycerol

Description:

1,2-Dioleoyl-3-palmitoylglycerol, commonly referred to as DOPG, is a glycerolipid characterized by its unique fatty acid composition. It consists of two oleic acid chains and one palmitic acid chain esterified to a glycerol backbone. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it amphiphilic. DOPG is typically found in biological membranes, particularly in the phospholipid bilayer of cells, where it plays a crucial role in membrane fluidity and stability. The presence of unsaturated oleic acid chains contributes to the fluid nature of the membrane, while the saturated palmitic acid chain can influence the packing and organization of lipid molecules. DOPG is also utilized in various biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, including drug delivery systems and as a model compound in studies of membrane dynamics. Its CAS number, 10562-58-0, is used for identification in chemical databases. Overall, DOPG is significant in both biological systems and industrial applications due to its structural and functional properties.
