1,3dipalmitoleoylracglycerol

1,3-Dipalmitoleoyl-rac-glycerol is a diacylglycerol with palmitoleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions. It selectively inhibits α-glucosidase from S. cerevisiae over rat enzyme (IC50s = 4.45 and 9,326.5 μM, respectively). 1,3-Dipalmitoleoyl-rac-glycerol has been used in the formation of lipid bilayers to study the effects of membrane composition and the ionophore valinomycin on membrane potential.
