Monolysocardiolipin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) is a phospholipid with three fatty acid chains located in the inner membrane of mitochondria.
MLCL is normally present as part of the metabolic cycle of mitochondrial lipids, such as cardiolipin.[1] It is remodeled by the enzymes monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase, lysocardiolipin acyltransferase, and tafazzin, which transfer a fourth fatty acid chain onto the phospholipid.[2]
