Biological Activity

[Description]:

Dioctanoylglycol (Ethylene glycol dicaprylate), a diacylglycerol analog, is a diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) inhibitor (Ki of 58 μM)[1].

Research Areas >> Cardiovascular Disease

Signaling Pathways >> Others >> Others

[In Vitro]

Dioctanoylglycol (Dioctanoylethylene glycol) inhibits diacylglycerol phosphorylation in platelets (70-100% at 100 μM) leading to a longer-lived diacylglycerol signal[1].
