1-NBD-decanoyl-2-decanoyl-sn-Glycerol - CAS 2309189-98-6

Diacylglycerols (DAG) are generated through the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids and function as lipid second messengers by activating protein kinase C (PKC) and modulating cell growth and apoptosis. Additionally, they act as precursors for DAG kinases in the synthesis of phosphatidic acid, a crucial lipid messenger. The compound 1-NBD-decanoyl-2-decanoyl-sn-glycerol incorporates a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) fluorophore at the ω-end of its terminal decanoyl chain, using the structure of 1,2-didecanoyl-sn-glycerol as a model for diacylglycerol. This molecule is expected to exhibit excitation and emission peaks at roughly 470/541 nm, paralleling those of various NBD-labeled phospholipids. Fluorescently labeled lipids, such as this, are instrumental in exploring their interactions with proteins, their uptake by cells and liposomes, and in developing assays for lipid metabolism research.
