18:0 Cardiolipin

18:0 Cardiolipin (CL) is a polyglycerophospholipid synthesized in mitochondria, playing a crucial role in mitochondrial bioenergetics and signaling. Exclusively found in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotes, 18:0 CL exhibits a complex structure characterized by its unique chain length and degree of saturation, along with the specific arrangements of its four fatty acid substituents.
