1,2,3-Tri-10(Z)-Heptadecenoyl Glycerol

1,2,3-Tri-10(Z)-heptadecenoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains 10(Z)-heptadecenoic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. It has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of triglycerides in green microalgae and phospholipid bilayers.^1,2

1,2,3-Tri-10(Z)-heptadecenoyl glycerol (TG(17:1/17:1/17:1)) is a biochemical assay reagent, which can be used as an internal standard for the quantification of biological triglyceride[1].

ChEBI: 1,2,3-tri-(10Z-heptadecenoyl)glycerol is a triglyceride formed by acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol with (10Z)-heptadecenoic acid.
