General description

sn-1,2-diacylglycerols comprise short saturated acyl side chains (C4-C10) and 12:0 DG is also called 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycerol.

Application

12:0 DG may be used:
  • as an internal standard for spiking serum samples for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis.
  • as an internal standard for spiking RAW 264.7 cells for mass spectroscopy studies
  • as standard in reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometer for lipidomics studies of human plasma and serum samples

Biochem/physiol Actions

sn-1,2-Diacylglycerols are prime regulators of biological functions, especially in platelets. They also activate protein kinase C. 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycerol is a polymerization initiator used in the synthesis of (R)-3-((2-bromo-2-methylpropanoyl)oxy)propane-1,2-diyl didodecanoate (BMPD).

Packaging

30 mL Amber Narrow Mouth Glass Bottle with Screw Cap (800812C-200mg)

Storage and Stability

Diacylglycerols are conveniently stored in chloroform solutions in glass vials with PTFE-lined caps at -20°C. Under these conditions acyl migration is minimal. Avoid plastic when handling chloroform solutions.

Other Notes

Delivery to cells:
Dry samples of diacylglycerol in chloroform, using a stream of nitrogen. Dissolve the residue in an appropriate volume of ethanol or DMSO, then dilute to the desired aqueous medium.
Effective concentration:
Most biological responses saturate at 20 to 250 μM sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol. Only sn-1,2 isomers appear to be active.
Precaution: Since short chain Diacylglycerols mimic effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol diesters in a number of biological systems, extra care should be employed in their handling. Treatment of solutions, vessels and other articles with 1N NaOH before washing or discarding will destroy diacylglycerols.
