 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 1-Palmitoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) at the sn-1 position. It is an emulsifying agent and has been used to increase the viscoelasticity of processed cheese.1

 White Solid
 |  | [Uses] 
 A biomarker of metabolic responses to hepatotoxicants and carcinogens.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: 1-monopalmitoylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride that has palmitoyl as the acyl group. A natural product found in Neolitsea daibuensis. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.
 |  | [Biochem/physiol Actions] 
 α-Monopalmitin is a glycerol esterified fatty acid, monoacylglycerol, found in lipid structures such as ceramides. 1-Palmitoylglycerol may be used as a substrate for the identification and differentiation of enzymes that hydrolyze or transfer monoacylglycerols such as neuropathy target esterase(s) and monoacylglycerol acyltransferase(s) (MAG).
