Description
Dioleoylglycerol Product Overview
Dioleoylglycerol (C39H72O5) is a glycerol molecule carrying two oleic acid chains. It exists as two positional isomers: 1,2-dioleoylglycerol and 1,3-dioleoylglycerol (CAS 2465-32-9), and commercial material is often a mixture of both. It is a clear to pale yellow oily liquid or soft solid.
In biochemistry, 1,2-diacylglycerols act as signaling molecules that activate protein kinase C, so researchers use 1,2-dioleoylglycerol in cell signaling studies. Formulation scientists use dioleoylglycerol in lipid-based drug delivery systems, and food and cosmetic producers use diacylglycerol-rich mixtures as emulsifiers.
Because the double bonds of oleic acid can oxidize and the 1,2-isomer slowly converts to the 1,3-isomer, the product is stored cold under inert gas. Related lipid ingredients include Phosphatidylserine and Glycerine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 1,2- and 1,3-dioleoylglycerol?
They differ in which glycerol positions carry the oleic acid chains. Only the 1,2-isomer activates protein kinase C; the 1,3-isomer is more stable.
Do you supply single isomers?
Isomer mixtures are standard; enriched single isomers for research can be quoted on request.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination. Contact us with your required volume to receive a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
