BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
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 (Ref. 0061). Extraction of microsomes with n-heptane and subsequent reincorporation of dolichol were done in order to investigate 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). HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors induce apoptosis in mouse proximal tubular cells in primary culture(Ref. 0064). Dolichyl, dihydroheptaprenyl, and dihydrodecaprenyl phosphates induced apoptosis in U937 cells. Apoptosis induced by dihydroprenyl phosphate was mediated by caspase-3-like activation but not by caspase-1-like activation(Ref. 0065).

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).

The compound was isolated from human kidney, ox kidney, pig heart, pig liver, rat liver, and ox intestine.(Ref. 0009/0022). Human tissues (Ref. 0054). Mouse testes(Ref. 0046).

The effects of dietary proteins on the accumulation of dolichol (Ref. 0057). Dolichol content in different regions of the rat brain (cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brain stem) were analyzed from birth to the age of 2 years. The level of dolichol increased almost 100-fold during the first 10 months of life and continued to increase thereafter(Ref. 0058). Content of dolichol and retinol in isolated rat non-parenchymal liver cells(Ref. 0059). Distribution of radiolabeled dolichol in rat liver fractions (nuclei, debris, mitochondria, lysosomes, microsomes, Golgi, cytosol)(Ref. 0060).

GENETIC INFORMATION

NOTE
Metabolism of dolichol, dolichoic acid, and nordolichoic acid in MDCK and HepG2 cells (Ref. 0074). The potential for feedback inhibition by isoprene intermediates in the isoprene biosynthetic pathway (Ref. 0039). Age-dependent changes in hepatic dolichol content in rats fed either ad libitum, or subjected to restriction of daily food intake or every-other-day feeding ad libitum(Ref. 0075/0076). The effects of alcohol and glucagon on the biliary excretion of dolichols in rats (Ref. 0077). Modifications in the concentration and distribution of rat liver microsomal dolichol and dolichyl phosphate after acute ethanol adiministration (Ref. 0059). Pro-oxidant agents lead to a significant decrease of both free dolichol and dolichyl phosphate in isolated rat hepatocytes(Ref. 0059). Distribution of radiolabeled dolichol in rat liver fractions(Ref. 0060). The effect of dolichols, polyprenols, dolichol esterified with fatty acids, and dolichyl phosphate on the structure and fluidity of model membranes was studied using 31P NMR, small-angle x-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and freeze-fracture electron microscopy.
