diacylglycerol
diacylglycerol[‚dī·ə·səl′glis·ə‚rōl] (biochemistry) A product of the cleavage of membrane-associated phospholipid by phospholipase C that activates isozymes of protein kinase C, an important regulator of cell function. diacylglycerol
di·ac·yl·glyc·er·ol (DAG), (dī'as-il'glis'ĕr-ōl), Diglyceride; glycerol with two esterified acyl moieties, either 1,3-diacylglycerol or 1,2-diacylglycerol; if the two acyl groups are nonidentical, there are four possible isomers of 1,2-diacylglycerol; 1,2-diacylglycerol is an intermediate in the synthesis of triacylglycerols and of lecithin; also serves as a second messenger in stimulating the activity of protein kinase C.AcronymsSeeDAG |
