1 2-DIMYRISTOYL-RAC-GLYCEROL (C14:0) Usage And Synthesis

Uses

1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycerol is used to synthesize lipophilic peptides for gene delivery.

Description

DMG (1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycerol) is a carboxylic ester, glycerolipid and diglyceride with an attached myristoyl group, promoting interactions between proteins and lipids. It can be employed as a detergent or reagent. It's functional in cell biology experimentation concerning metabolism and metabolic pathways involving glycerolipids. As a diglyceride, the substance consists of two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to the glycerol molecule in the 1,2- formation. Diglyceride (DAG) research investigates the process of suppressing fat accumulation through DAG consumption.

Uses
