1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-Eicosapentaenoyl-rac-glycerol

1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-eicosapentaenoyl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains myristic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions and eicosapentaenoic acid at the sn-3 position. Relative quantities of 1,2-dimyristoyl-3-eicosapentaenoyl-rac-glycerol in the alga T. minutus positively correlate with increases in temperature.¹

1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-eicosapentaenoyl-rac-glycerol (MME) is a compound that is studied as a triglyceride isomer in algae, and its isomer ratio changes with culture temperature.
