Common Name1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate
Description1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate is a member of the glycerophospholipid class, specifically an ether-linked lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) derivative. Its chemical structure features a hexadecyl chain linked to the glycerol backbone at the 1-position, with a phosphate group at the 3-position, distinguishing it from other lipid molecules. This compound is involved in various signaling pathways, particularly in the modulation of cellular responses. For instance, studies have demonstrated that 1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate can induce rapid contraction in rat isolated colon tissues, indicating its role in gastrointestinal physiology (PMID:1686905 ). Additionally, it has been shown to affect human platelets, where it is compared with other LPA analogues, revealing its potency relative to ester-linked LPAs (PMID:7733903 ). Overall, 1-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate serves as an important lipid mediator, influencing cellular activities through its interactions with specific receptors in various biological contexts.
