4-Aminophenylphosphorylcholine, when conjugated to sepharose, serves as an effective adsorbent for affinity precipitation experiments. This compound functions as a probe facilitating selective binding and isolation processes in biochemical studies.

β-Muricholic acid (β-MCA) is a murine-specific primary bile acid.[1],[2] Dietary administration of β-MCA reduces HMG-CoA reductase activity in liver microsomes from mice fed a high cholesterol and cholic acid diet.[3] Dietary administration of β-MCA also dissolves 100% of gallstones in a gallstone-susceptible mouse model of diet-induced cholesterol gallstones.[4]

1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-stearoyl-rac-glycerol, a primary triacylglycerol in cocoa butter, features palmitic acid (at the sn-1 position), oleic acid (at the sn-2 position), and stearic acid (at the sn-3 position).

N-Acyl taurines, such as N-lignoceroyl taurine, alongside various arachidonoyl amino acid conjugates like N-arachidonoyl dopamine and N-arachidonoyl-L-serine, have been identified in bovine brain and through mass spectrometry lipidomic studies in the brain and spinal cord of both wild-type and FAAH knockout mice. Notably, N-lignoceroyl taurine levels were found to be 23-26 times higher in FAAH knockout mice than in wild types, suggesting its degradation by FAAH, despite in vitro evidence showing FAAH hydrolyzes N-lignoceroyl taurine significantly slower than oleoyl ethanolamide. Additionally, N-acyl taurines with polyunsaturated acyl chains are known to activate TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels within the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of calcium channels.

1,2,3-Tripentadecanoyl glycerol, a triacylglycerol featuring pentadecanoic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions, occurs in various grapes. It serves as a standard in LC-MS for detecting triacylglycerols in human plasma.

1,3-Distearoyl-2-palmitoyl glycerol, a triacylglycerol, comprises stearic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions, and palmitic acid at the sn-2 position. This compound is present in bovine milk fat.
