General description

1-C16 Ether MG or 1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycerol (HG) is a neutral lipid containing a saturated 16-carbon alkyl chain ether and an uncharged headgroup.

Application

1-C16 Ether MG or 1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycerol (HG) might be used to study its effect on target gene expression in HepG2 cells. It might also be used to promote plasmalogen biosynthesis in lymphoblasts derived from Barth syndrome (BTHS) patients.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-C16 Ether MG or 1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycerol (HG) acts as a precursor for plasma plasmalogen (PI) biosynthesis. It is essential for maintaining the plasmalogen levels in cell lines.

A novel lysosomal phospholipase A(2) (LPLA2) with specificity toward phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine was previously purified and cloned. LPLA2 transfers sn-1 or sn-2 acyl groups of phospholipids to the C1 hydroxyl of the short-chain ceramide N-acetylsphingosine (NAS) under acidic conditions. The
