Description
1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol
In biochemical signaling, diacylglycerol (DAG) functions as a second messenger signaling lipid and is a product of the hydrolysis of the phospholipid PIP2(phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate) by the enzyme phospholipase C (PLC) (a membrane-bound enzyme) that, through the same reaction, produces inositol trisphosphate (IP3).
