Dolichol C95 is a polyisoprenoid alcohol primarily derived from porcine liver, characterized by its long hydrophobic carbon chain composed of multiple isoprene units. The "C95" designation indicates that it contains approximately 95 carbon atoms, reflecting its high molecular weight and complex structure. Dolichols play a crucial role in cellular processes, particularly in the glycosylation of proteins and lipids, serving as a carrier for sugar moieties during the synthesis of glycoproteins. This substance is lipid-soluble, which influences its behavior in biological membranes and its interaction with various cellular components. Dolichol C95 is also involved in the synthesis of dolichol phosphate, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins. Its presence in mammalian tissues, especially in the liver, underscores its importance in metabolic pathways. Due to its structural complexity and biological significance, dolichol C95 is of interest in both biochemical research and potential therapeutic applications, particularly in understanding glycosylation disorders.
