1-O-Hexadecyl-Rac-Glycerol
1-O-Hexadecyl-rac-glycerol is a synthetic analog of natural alkylglycerols, originally isolated from the marine nudibranch Tritoniella belli. This ether lipid is utilized in biochemical research to study lipid metabolism, cell membrane structure, and as a precursor in the synthesis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) analogs for in vitro investigations.
