1-18:1-2-trans-16:1-phosphatidylglycerol
Definition
1-18:1-2-trans-16:1-phosphatidylglycerol is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-18:1-2-trans-16:1-phosphatidylglycerol can be found in a number of food items such as garden rhubarb, other cereal product, celery stalks, and triticale, which makes 1-18:1-2-trans-16:1-phosphatidylglycerol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphatidylglycerols. These are glycerophosphoglycerols in which two fatty acids are bonded to the 1-glycerol moiety through ester linkages. As is the case with diacylglycerols, phosphatidylglycerols can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached to the C-1 and C-2 positions.
