Natural Product Identification
Common Name2-Monopalmitin
DescriptionMG(0:0/16:0/0:0), Also known as mag(0:0/16:0) Or 2-monopalmitin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 2-monoacylglycerols. These are monoacylglycerols containing a glycerol acylated at the 2-position. Thus, MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) Is considered to be a monoradylglycerol lipid molecule. Monoacylglycerols are formed biochemically via release of a fatty acid from diacylglycerol by diacylglycerol lipase or hormone sensitive lipase. They are taken up directly by the intestinal cells and converted to triacylglycerols via the monoacylglycerol pathway before being transported in lymph to the liver. They act as emulsifiers, helping to mix ingredients such as oil and water that would not otherwise blend well. MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) Is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. A monoglyceride, more correctly known as a monoacylglycerol, is a glyceride consisting of one fatty acid chain covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through an ester linkage. MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) Exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) Has been detected, but not quantified in, fats and oils. This could make MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) A potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. MG(0:0/16:0/0:0) Is a monoacylglyceride. Normally the 1-/3-isomers are not distinguished from each other and are termed 'alpha-monoacylglycerols', while the 2-isomers are beta-monoacylglycerols. Monoacylglycerols are broken down by monoacylglycerol lipase. 2-Monopalmitin is found in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Santalum album , Sciadopitys verticillata and Streptomyces rochei. Mono- and Diglycerides are commonly added to commercial food products in small quantities.
