Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycerophosphoglycerol
DescriptionGlycerophosphoglycerol (CAS: 6418-92-4) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl phosphates. These are organic compounds containing a phosphate group that is linked to exactly two alkyl chains. Glycerophosphoglycerol forms the head group of a class of glycerophospholipids in which a phosphoglycerol moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. Termed, phosphatidylglycerols (PG), these lipids can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached at the C-1 and C-2 positions. Fatty acids containing 16, 18, and 20 carbons are the most common.
