Description
1,2-
Dimyristoyl-
sn-
glycerol (1,2-
DMG) is a saturated diacylglycerol (DAG) with myristic acid (14:0) side-
chains attached at both the
sn-
1 and
sn-
2 positions. Most saturated DAGs, including 1,2-
DMG, are weak second messengers for the activation of the PKC.

1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycerol (1,2-DMG) is a saturated diacylglycerol (DAG) with myristic acid (14:0) side-chains attached at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. Most saturated DAGs, including 1,2-DMG, are weak second messengers for the activation of the PKC.[Cayman Chemical]
Uses
1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycerol is a saturated diacylglycerol (DAG). It is a possible weak second messenger for the activation of the PKC.
Definition
ChEBI: 1,2-ditetradecanoyl-sn-glycerol is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol in which both acyl groups are tetradecanoyl (myristoyl). It is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol and a diacylglycerol 28:0. It is functionally related to a tetradecanoic acid.
