18:1 (Δ9-Cis) PG

Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membrane bilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chain fatty acids, esterified to hydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol and phosphoric acid esterified to the C3 hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores. 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (DOPG)/18:1 (Δ9-Cis) PG has two hydroxyl groups in its head group. It is an anionic lipid.

18:1 (Δ9-Cis) PG has been used:

• in the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV)
• in the preparation 200 nm large unilamellar vesicles (LUV)
• as a supplement in native macrophage membranes to generate membrane liposomes with an artificially modified electrical charge

Phosphoglycerides (PG)/glycerophospholipids play a key role in cell signaling systems. It also serves as an anchor for proteins in cell membranes.
