Monogalactosyl diglyceride is a minor galactolipid present in oligodendrocytes and myelin, as well as comprises a major fraction of the lipids in photosynthesizing plants and green microorganisms. It is used as a marker for myelination and has also been shown to stimulate PKCα activity in oligodendrocytes.
