CAS 98896-81-2

(+/-)-1,2-di-O-heptadecanoylglycerol

Description:

(+/-)-1,2-di-O-heptadecanoylglycerol, with the CAS number 98896-81-2, is a glycerolipid characterized by its structure, which includes a glycerol backbone esterified with two heptadecanoyl (C17) fatty acid chains at the first and second positions. This compound is a type of diacylglycerol, which plays a significant role in various biological processes, including cell signaling and lipid metabolism. The presence of the heptadecanoyl groups imparts specific physical and chemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and the ability to form lipid bilayers, which are crucial for membrane structure and function. Additionally, the compound exhibits stereoisomerism due to the presence of chiral centers in the glycerol moiety, leading to the designation of (+/-) to indicate the presence of both enantiomers. Its applications may extend to research in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. As with many lipids, it is important to consider its solubility, stability, and interactions with other biomolecules in biological systems.
