General description

4ME 16:0 Diether DG or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol is an archaeal lipid having two phytane chains attached to the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone by ether bonds. It is present as a component of the cell membrane in methanogen microorganisms.

Application

4ME 16:0 Diether DG or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol is suitable for use as an internal standard in:
  • the liquid chromatography mass spectrometric (LC–MS) analysis of lipids by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions
  • high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify diacylglycerol (DAG/DG)
  • tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis to quantify DAG

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ether linked lipids are antioxidant and essential for cell differentiation and cellular signaling.

Archaeol (1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol) is a cell membrane lipid component of methanogens that has the potential to be used as a biomarker for methane production in ruminants. However, its analysis via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is challenging because of its molecular size
