1,2-Dioleoyl-rac-glycerol-13C3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol by GC- or LC-MS. 1,2-dioleoyl-rac-glycerol is a diacylglycerol that contains oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It effectively binds the C1 domain to activate conventional protein kinase C forms and serves as a substrate for diacylglycerol kinases and multisubstrate lipid kinase.1,2,3 |1.

1,2-Dioleoyl-3-lauroyl-rac-glycerol-13C3 is designed as an internal standard for the quantification of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-lauroyl-rac-glycerol, employable with GC- or LC-MS techniques. This compound is a type of triacylglycerol featuring oleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, and lauric acid at the sn-3 position, and has been identified in date seed oil and the fat body of male B. lapidarius bumblebees.
