diacylglycerol phosphorylation

Dioctanoylglycol (ethane-1,2-diyl dioctanoate) is a diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor.

Dioctanoylphosphatidic acid sodium serves as a modulator of phagocyte respiratory bursts, a precursor to diacylglycerol and lyso-phosphatidic acid, and influences the phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Additionally, it enhances the viability of gallbladder cancer cells inhibited by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI). This compound is derived from glycerophospholipids through the action of phospholipase D.

1,2-Dioleoyl-rac-glycerol-13C3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol by GC- or LC-MS. 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol is a diacylglycerol that contains oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It effectively binds the C1 domain to activate conventional protein kinase C forms and serves as a substrate for diacylglycerol kinases and multisubstrate lipid kinase.1,2,3 |1.

Phosphatidylinositols, comprising about 10% of total cellular phospholipids, are glycerophospholipids featuring a glycerol backbone, two non-polar fatty acid tails (primarily C16:0 and C18:0), and a polar inositol head group. Synthesized from cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CPD-DAG) and myoinositol via phosphoinositol synthase, these compounds play pivotal roles in cellular processes, including calcium regulation, vesicle trafficking, mitogenesis, cell survival, and actin rearrangement. Phosphorylation of their inositol rings produces phosphoinositides, crucial for these cellular functions. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1048]

Macrophage-activating lipopeptide 2 TFA (MALP-2 TFA) is a diacylglycerol lipopeptide and TLR-2 TLR-6 agonist that activates immune cell responses such as macrophages, upregulating TNF, IL-6, and PGE2 to induce local inflammation.
