BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
The compound functions as a sugar carrier lipid in the glycoprotein biosynthesis. The biological role of dolichol (review)(Ref. 0043). Content of dolichol and activity of GlcNAc-1-P (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:dolichyl phosphate N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate transferase) in fibroblasts from patients with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein (CDG) syndrome were analyzed. The major defect of CDG syndrome is not found in the synthesys of dolichyl phosphate or GlcNAc-PP-Dol(Ref. 0061). The influence of dolichol on microsomal membrane functions: Dolichol affected microsomal membrane fluidity, but did not modify the activities of certain microsome membrane enzymes(Ref. 0062). Dolichol was covalently bound to cellular proteins with size of 5, 10, 27, 75, and >140 kDa(Ref. 0063). Dolichyl, dihydroheptaprenyl, and dihydrodecaprenyl phosphates induced apoptosis in U937 cells, while farnesyl phosphate, geranylgeranyl phosphate, dolichol, dolichal, and dlichoic acid did not induce apoptosis. Apoptosis induced by dihydroprenyl phosphate was mediated by caspase-3-like activation but not by caspase-1-like activation(Ref. 0065).

SPECTRAL DATA
UV SPECTRA:

IR SPECTRA:IR spectrum was observed(Ref. 0084).

NMR SPECTRA:1H-NMR spectrum at 100MHz (with spectrum)(Ref. 0084/0021). The arrangement of isoprene units in pig liver dolichol was determined by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. 1H-NMR at 200MHz, 13C-NMR at 50.1MHz (with spectra)(Ref. 0045). The head and tail sites of dolichol exibit a fast motion as exibited in the short chain isoprenols. Dolichol appears to induce a non-bilayer (isotropic) organization of phospholipid molecules in PE/PC (2:1) vesicles(Ref. 0085).

MASS SPECTRA:m/z=1312 (19 isoprene units)(Ref. 0084).

OTHER SPECTRA:
CHROMATOGRAM DATA
HPLC (with chromatograph)(Ref. 0046/0047/0048/0049/0050/0051). Separation of dolichol from dehydrodolichol by a simple two-plate thin-layer chromatography(Ref. 0052). Sequential microanalyses of free dolichol, dolichyl fatty acid ester and dolichyl phosphate in human serum were made fluorometrically by HPLC. The calibration curve of dolichol standard against the internal standard showed linearity at dolichol concentrations of 10ng to 500ng(Ref. 0053).
SOURCE
The compound was isolated from human kidney, ox kidney, pig heart, pig liver, rat liver, and ox intestine.(Ref. 0009). Beef and human pituitaries(Ref. 0083/0084>. Pig liver(Ref. 0021). Human tissues(Ref. 0054). Mouse testes(Ref. 0046). Rat and human tissues (Ref. 0048). Distribution in rat liver subcellular organelles (Ref. 0048). Contents in human tissues (Ref. 0055). Rat and human tissues (spleen, liver, kidney, myocardium, lung, pancreas, adrenal)(Ref. 0051). Levels of dolichol in neonatal and adult human tissues (thyroid, testis, liver, heart, kidney, lung, spleen)(Ref. 0056). Content in human serum(Ref. 0053). The effects of dietary proteins on the accumulation of dolichol in kidney, spleen, brain, and heart (Ref. 0057). Dolichol content in different regions of the rat brain (cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brain stem) (Ref. 0058). Content of dolichol and retinol in isolated rat non-parenchymal liver cells(Ref. 0059). Distribution of radiolabeled dolichol in rat liver fractions (Ref. 0060).
