1,2-Dioleoyl-3-myristoyl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659) at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions and myristic acid at the sn-3 position. It has been found in the fat body of male B. lapidarius bumblebees and in R. erythropolis bacteria utilizing phenol or succinic acid as a carbon source.

1,2-Dioleoyl-3-myristoyl-rac-glycerol (1,2-Olein-3-myristin) is a compound that is being studied as a triglyceride in bumblebee fat body. Chromatographic analysis revealed differences in fatty acid composition and triglyceride isomer distribution in different bumblebee species.
