  2. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    Glycerophospholipids are derived from glycerol-3-phosphate in a de novo pathway. [3] The term glycerophospholipid signifies any derivative of glycerophosphoric acid that contains at least one O-acyl, or O-alkyl, or O-alk-1'-enyl residue attached to the glycerol moiety. [4] The phosphate group forms an ester linkage to the glycerol.

  3. Plasmalogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmalogen

    Example of an ethanolamine plasmalogen with the characteristic vinyl ether linkage at the sn-1 position and an ester linkage at the sn-2 position. Plasmalogens are a class of glycerophospholipid with a plasmenyl group linked to a lipid at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone.

  4. Lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid

    Examples of glycerophospholipids found in biological membranes are phosphatidylcholine (also known as PC, GPCho or lecithin), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE or GPEtn) and phosphatidylserine (PS or GPSer).

  5. Ether lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether_lipid

    In contrast, conventional glycerophospholipids and triglycerides are triesters. [1] Structural types include: Ether phospholipids: phospholipids are known to have ether-linked "tails" instead of the usual ester linkage. [1] Ether on sn-1, ester on sn-2: "ether lipids" in the context of bacteria and eukaryotes refer to this class of lipids.

  6. Glycerol 3-phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_3-phosphate

    Glycerophospholipids have three components: fatty acid lipid groups (orange), glycerol backbone (white), and 3-phosphate ester (green) Glycerol 3-phosphate is a starting material for de novo synthesis of glycerolipids.

    glycerophospholipid — these fats are major building blocks of cell membranes, changes in whose levels appear to be linked to diabetes branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) — essential amino acids ...

  8. Phosphatidylserine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylserine

    Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid—more specifically a glycerophospholipid—which consists of two fatty acids attached in ester linkage to the first and second carbon of glycerol and serine attached through a phosphodiester linkage to the third carbon of the glycerol.

  9. Saponifiable lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponifiable_lipid

    The primary saponifiable lipids are free fatty acids, neutral glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and glycolipids. [ 1 ] By comparison, the non-saponifiable class of lipids is made up of terpenes, including fat-soluble A and E vitamins, and certain steroids, such as cholesterol.
