Product Description: Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is a polar lipid that does not form a bilayer and is found, for example, in the chloroplast thylakoid of aerobic photosynthetic organisms. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol lacks charge and is highly unsaturated, which provides a fluid environment that facilitates the diffusion process of electron transfer in photosynthesis and may be used in the packaging of natural proteins. The galactolipid Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol has anti-inflammatory effects in vivo[1][2]..
