1-Palmitoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains palmitic acid at the sn-1 position. It is an emulsifying agent and has been used to increase the viscoelasticity of processed cheese.
A biomarker of metabolic responses to hepatotoxicants and carcinogens.

ChEBI: 1-monopalmitoylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride that has palmitoyl as the acyl group. A natural product found in Neolitsea daibuensis. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.
α-Monopalmitin is a glycerol esterified fatty acid, monoacylglycerol, found in lipid structures such as ceramides. 1-Palmitoylglycerol may be used as a substrate for the identification and differentiation of enzymes that hydrolyze or transfer monoacylglycerols such as neuropathy target esterase(s) and monoacylglycerol acyltransferase(s) (MAG).
