Modification of Lipid Bilayer Structure by Diacylglycerol: A Comparative Study of Diacylglycerol and Cholesterol [PDF]

Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2012
Diacylglycerols (DAGs) are important second messengers in biomembranes, and they can activate protein kinase C and many other enzymes and receptors. However, their interactions with cholesterol and other lipids have not been previously studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.

1,3-Diacylglycerol and 1,2-Diacylglycerol Types of Multiacylglycerol in Stigma Lipids of Tobacco [PDF]

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1986
The 1, 3-diacylglycerol and 1, 2-diacylglycerol types of multiacylglycerol were first isolated from the stigmas of Nicotiana tabacum (Bright Yellow). These multiacylglycerols were separated into more than five spots, such as tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa- and heptaacylglycerol.

Expression of mouse MGAT in Arabidopsis results in increased lipid accumulation in seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Worldwide demand for vegetable oil is projected to double within the next thirty years due to increasing food, fuel and industrial requirements. There is therefore great interest in metabolic engineering strategies that boost oil accumulation in plant ...

Dynamics of Presynaptic Diacylglycerol in a Sensory Neuron Encode Differences between Past and Current Stimulus Intensity

Cell Reports, 2017
Memorizing the intensity of sensory stimuli enables animals to successfully deal with changing environmental conditions and contributes to cognitive functions such as auditory and visual working memory.

Lipid phosphate phosphatases and signaling

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) regulate cell signaling by modifying the concentrations of lipid phosphates versus their dephosphorylated products. The ecto-activity regulates the availability of extracellular lysophosphatidate (LPA) and sphingosine ...

Experimental Activation of Endocannabinoid System Reveals Antilipotoxic Effects on Cardiac Myocytes

Molecules, 2020
Hypertension coincides with myocardial alternations in lipid (including sphingolipids) and glucose metabolism. The latest data indicate that accumulation of metabolically active lipids, especially ceramide (CER) and diacylglycerol (DAG) significantly ...

Sphingomyelin synthase 1 activity is regulated by the BCR-ABL oncogene[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) produces sphingomyelin while consuming ceramide (a negative regulator of cell proliferation) and forming diacylglycerol (DAG) (a mitogenic factor). Therefore, enhanced SMS activity could favor cell proliferation.

Fabricating Partial Acylglycerols for Food Applications

Colloids and Interfaces
The functional characteristics of Partial acylglycerols (PAGs) have attracted the attention of researchers in designing PAGs for food applications as a potential substitute for conventional fats/oils. Designing PA using enzymes has been of great interest

Lipid levels in sperm, eggs, and during fertilization in Xenopus laevis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Critical developmental periods, such as fertilization, involve metabolic activation, membrane fusion events such as sperm-egg or plasma membrane-cortical granule merger, and production and hydrolysis of phospholipids.

Calcitriol transmembrane signalling: regulation of rat muscle phospholipase D activity

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
In rat skeletal muscle, calcitriol, the hormonal form of vitamin D3, rapidly stimulates the biphasic formation of diacylglycerol (DAG), the second phase being independent of phosphoinositide hydrolysis driven by phospholipase C.
