  3. Lipidomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipidomics

    Examples of various lipid species. Lipidomics is the large-scale study of pathways and networks of cellular lipids in biological systems. [1] [2] [3] The word "lipidome" is used to describe the complete lipid profile within a cell, tissue, organism, or ecosystem and is a subset of the "metabolome" which also includes other major classes of biological molecules (such as amino acids, sugars ...

  4. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    Bottom: 9, lipid bilayer of bacteria and eukaryotes; 10, lipid monolayer of some archaea. Glycerophospholipids or phosphoglycerides are glycerol-based phospholipids. They are the main component of biological membranes in eukaryotic cells. They are a type of lipid, of which its composition affects membrane structure and properties. [1]

  5. Membrane lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_lipid

    Membrane lipids are a group of compounds (structurally similar to fats and oils) which form the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The three major classes of membrane lipids are phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol. Lipids are amphiphilic: they have one end that is soluble in water ('polar') and an ending that is soluble in fat ...

  6. Glycolipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycolipid

    Glycolipid. Glycolipids are lipids with a carbohydrate attached by a glycosidic (covalent) bond. [1] Their role is to maintain the stability of the cell membrane and to facilitate cellular recognition, which is crucial to the immune response and in the connections that allow cells to connect to one another to form tissues. [2]

  7. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    Since lipids are hydrophobic molecules, they need to be solubilized before their metabolism can begin. Lipid metabolism often begins with hydrolysis, [7] which occurs with the help of various enzymes in the digestive system. [2] Lipid metabolism also occurs in plants, though the processes differ in some ways when compared to animals. [8]

  8. Lipidology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipidology

    The surface of a curved lipid bilayer. Lipidology is the scientific study of lipids. Lipids are a group of biological macromolecules that have a multitude of functions in the body. [1] [2] [3] Clinical studies on lipid metabolism in the body have led to developments in therapeutic lipidology for disorders such as cardiovascular disease. [4]

  9. Phosphatidylethanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylethanolamine

    For example, the melting temperature of di-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine is -16 °C while the melting temperature of di-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine is -20 °C. If the lipids had two palmitoyl chains, phosphatidylethanolamine would melt at 63 °C while phosphatidylcholine would melt already at 41 °C. [ 4 ]
