monolysocardiolipin
Monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) is a phospholipid with three fatty acid chains located in the inner membrane of mitochondria.
MLCL is normally present as part of the metabolic cycle of mitochondrial lipids, such as cardiolipin.{{cite journal|vauthors=Ma BJ, Taylor WA, Dolinsky VW, Hatch GM | title=Acylation of monolysocardiolipin in rat heart. | journal=J Lipid Res | year= 1999 | volume= 40 | issue= 10 | pages= 1837–45 | doi=10.1016/S0022-2275(20)34900-2 | pmid=10508203 | doi-access=free }} It is remodeled by the enzymes monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase, lysocardiolipin acyltransferase, and tafazzin, which transfer a fourth fatty acid chain onto the phospholipid.{{cite journal|last1=Taylor|first1=W.
