Hydrogenated MGDG 840526 monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (plant, hydrogenated)
Hydrogenated MGDG or monogalactosyldiacylglycerol MGDG is a type of glycolipid. Glycolipids are lipid molecules that contain a sugar group, and they're commonly found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plants and algae.
MGDG plays a pivotal role in organizing and regulating the activity of embedded protein supercomplexes in the thylakoid membrane of photosystem II, contributing to the maintenance of an optimal lipid-to-protein ratio. Hydrogenated MGDG refers to the hydrogenation of the fatty acid chains in MGDG molecules
