General description

Digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) is a galactosylglycerolipid, which is a major lipid component in the thylakoid membrane of leaf chloroplasts. It is also present in the fruits, grains and roots. DGDG is synthesized from Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) by the enzyme DGDG synthase DGD1 .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) along with monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is involved in chloroplast membrane biogenesis and photosynthesis. DGDG and MGDG are responsible for the intake of proteins into the chloroplast.

The digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) synthase DGD1 is inserted into the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts in a manner independent of the general import pathway and does not depend on direct interaction with monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase for DGDG biosynthesis
