Description: Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), a polar lipid not forming bilayers, is located in the chloroplast thylakoid of aerobic photosynthetic organisms. This uncharged and highly unsaturated galactolipid creates a fluid environment aiding electron transfer diffusion in photosynthesis and can be used in natural protein packaging. Additionally, MGDG exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in vivo [1] [2].
