What Is a Cardiolipin?

Cardiolipin, a phospholipid, also known as bisphosphatidyl glycerol. Panborn was isolated from fresh bovine heart muscle in 1941. Cardiolipin is widely found in plants, microorganisms, and higher animal kingdoms. Cardiolipin is mainly present in the inner membrane of mitochondria in animal cells, and 15% of cardiolipin is present in the heart muscle.

Cardiolipin

In 1963, EPkennedy demonstrated that it is biosynthesized from CDP diglycerides and phosphatidylglycerols in animal cells.
In 1971, R. J. Salton et al. Demonstrated that one molecule of cardiolipin is biosynthesized from two molecules of phosphatidylglycerol in a microorganism.
