Product Information

• Name: Cardiolipin
• Synonyms: 18:1 Cardiolipin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cardiolipin is a specific type of phospholipid, which is derived primarily from the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells. It plays a critical role in mitochondrial function due to its unique structure and distribution, which contribute to the membrane's curvature and stability. The molecule is composed of a glycerol backbone linked to four fatty acid chains, giving it a unique dimeric conformation that is essential for its function.
