Product Information

• Name: 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycerol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycerol is a metabolite of phosphatidylethanolamine that is structurally related to the neurotransmitter serotonin. It binds to the 5HT7 receptor, which is involved in the regulation of infectious diseases and cytokine production. 1-O-Hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-racglycerol has been shown to stimulate growth factor production and protein synthesis, as well as inhibit serotonin reuptake. This compound also activates phosphorylation of PKC, which leads to an increase in cytosolic calcium levels and activation of PKC. As a result, diacylglycerol levels are increased, leading to an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and camp levels.
