monoacylglycerol

monoacylglycerol
Glycerol with an acyl moiety esterified to position 1 ( i.e., 1-m.) or position 2 ( i.e., 2-m.); an intermediate in the degradation and synthesis of lipids; 2 monoacylglycerols are a major end product of triacylglycerol degradation. SYN: monoglyceride.
- m. acyltransferase an intestinal enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of 2-m. and acyl-CoA to form coenzyme A and 1,2-diacylglycerol.
- m. lipase an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of m. to produce a fatty acid anion and glycerol; a part of lipid degradation.
