  2. Glycerol 3-phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_3-phosphate

    Glycerol 3-phosphate is synthesized by reducing dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), an intermediate in glycolysis. The reduction is catalyzed by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. DHAP and thus glycerol 3-phosphate can also be synthesized from amino acids and citric acid cycle intermediates via the glyceroneogenesis pathway. + NAD(P)H + H + → ...

  3. Glycerol-3-phosphate—glucose phosphotransferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol-3-phosphate...

    Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and D-glucose, whereas its two products are glycerol and D-glucose 6-phosphate. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases , specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups ( phosphotransferases ) with an alcohol group as acceptor.

  4. Phosphatidylglycerol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylglycerol

    The head group substituent glycerol is bonded through a phosphomonoester. It is the precursor of surfactant and its presence (>0.3) in the amniotic fluid of the newborn indicates fetal lung maturity. Approximately 98% of alveolar wall surface area is due to the presence of type I cells, with type II cells producing pulmonary surfactant covering ...

  6. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    The third carbon links to an ethanolamine or choline by means of a phosphate ester. These compounds are key components of the membranes of muscles and nerves. Phosphatidates. Phosphatidates are lipids in which the first two carbon atoms of the glycerol are fatty acid esters, and the 3 is a phosphate ester. The phosphate serves as a link to ...

  7. GPAT4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPAT4

    The majority of triglycerides are synthesised from glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) via the addition of three fatty acyl-CoA substrates, which are made from fatty acids. The first of these additions is catalysed by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases (GPATs: EC 2.3.1.15), including GPAT4, yielding lysophosphatidic acid . [ 7 ]

  8. Glyceroneogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyceroneogenesis

    Triglycerides are built from three fatty acids, esterified onto each of three hydroxy groups of glycerol, which is derived from glycerol 3-phosphate.In mammals, glycerol 3-phosphate is usually synthesized through glycolysis, a metabolic pathway that degrades glucose into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and then into two molecules of dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which beget glycerol 3-phosphate and ...

  9. Glycerol-3-phosphate-transporting ATPase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol-3-phosphate...

    The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, H 2 O, and glycerol-3-phosphate, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and glycerol-3-phosphate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases , specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances.
