Description | PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)), also known as GPG(16:1/20:4) or GPG(36:5), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphatidylglycerols. These are glycerophosphoglycerols in which two fatty acids are bonded to the 1-glycerol moiety through ester linkages. As is the case with diacylglycerols, phosphatidylglycerols can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached to the C-1 and C-2 positions. Thus, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) is considered to be a glycerophosphoglycerol lipid molecule. PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) can be biosynthesized from PGP(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)); which is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1. Furthermore, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) and CDP-DG(16:1(9Z)/22:5(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)) can be converted into CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/16:1(9Z)/22:5(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)) and cytidine monophosphate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cardiolipin synthase. Furthermore, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) can be biosynthesized from PGP(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)); which is mediated by the enzyme phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1. Furthermore, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) and CDP-DG(18:1(9Z)/16:1(9Z)) can be converted into CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:1(9Z)/16:1(9Z)) and cytidine monophosphate through its interaction with the enzyme cardiolipin synthase. Furthermore, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) can be biosynthesized from PGP(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) through the action of the enzyme phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1. Finally, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) and CDP-DG(18:2(9Z,12Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)) can be converted into CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)) and cytidine monophosphate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cardiolipin synthase. In cattle, PG(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)) is involved in a few metabolic pathways, which include cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/16:1(9Z)/22:5(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)) pathway, cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:1(9Z)/16:1(9Z)) pathway, and cardiolipin biosynthesis CL(16:1(9Z)/20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)) pathway. |
