tests of physiological function of dglps from locust , cockroach , and silkworm suggest that the insect dglp serves multiple roles as a true carrier molecule in transporting diacylglycerol , cholesterol , and hydrocarbon from sites of storage , absorption , and synthesis to sites where these lipids are utilized as metabolic fuel , precursors for triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis , or structural components of cell membrane and cuticle .
