Description
1,2-Dilinoleoyl-sn-glycerol is a diacylglycerol (DAG) with linoleic acid (18:2) side chains attached at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It has been found as a component of phosphatidic acid in rat liver mitochondria and in spinach chloroplast membranes. 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-sn-glycerol is upregulated in some pregnant women and has been used as a biomarker to predict later preeclampsia in early pregnancy.
