Biochem/physiol Actions

DAG plays a vital role in the physiological activation of protein kinase C (PKC). The production of DAG in the membrane facilitates translocation of PKC from the cytosol to the plasma membrane. Diacylglycerol mimicks the effects of the tumor-promoting compounds phorbol esters.

Other Notes

Effective concentration:
Most biological responses saturate at 20 to 250 μM sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol. Only sn-1,2 isomers appear to be active.
Delivery to cells:
Dry samples of diacylglycerol in chloroform, using a stream of nitrogen. Dissolve the residue in an appropriate volume of ethanol or DMSO, then dilute to the desired aqueous medium.
Precaution: Since short chain Diacylglycerols mimic effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol diesters in a number of biological systems, extra care should be employed in their handling. Treatment of solutions, vessels and other articles with 1N NaOH before washing or discarding will destroy diacylglycerols.

General description

18:0-18:2 DG (diacylglycerol) is a second messenger signaling lipid in biochemical signaling and is a product of the hydrolysis of the phospholipid PIP2 (phosphatidylinositolbisphosphate) by the enzyme phospholipase C (PLC) (a membrane-bound enzyme) that, through the same reaction, produces inositol trisphosphate (IP3). It possess hydrophobic properties due to which it remains within the plasma membrane.

Packaging

30 mL Amber Narrow Mouth Glass Bottle with Screw Cap (800817C-10mg)

Preparation Note

Diacylglycerols are conveniently stored in chloroform solutions in glass vials with PTFE-lined caps at -20°C. Under these conditions acyl migration is minimal. Avoid plastic when handling chloroform solutions.

Activation of cellular protein kinase C appears to be involved in the mechanism by which phorbol diesters induce differentiation of human myeloid leukemia cells (HL-60). Protein kinase C is thought to be physiologically activated by diacylglycerol derived from receptor-mediated phosphatidylinositol

The cell-permeable diacylglycerol, sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (DiC8), is shown to mimic the effect of tumor promoting phorbol diesters on epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and action in intact cells. DiC8 inhibited the binding of [3H]phorbol dibutyrate to A431 cell monolayers indicating that

The ability of exogenous sn-1,2-diacylglycerols and analogs to function as bioregulators of protein kinase C in human platelets was investigated. The activation of protein kinase C in platelets is indicated by specific phosphorylation of a 40,000-dalton protein. Dihexanoylglycerol, dioctanoylglycerol (diC8)
