  2. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    Phosphatidic acid synthesis in eukaryotes is different, there are two routes, one to the other toward phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Glycerophospholipids are generally metabolized in several steps with different intermediates.

  3. Glycerol 3-phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_3-phosphate

    Glycerol 3-phosphate is a starting material for de novo synthesis of glycerolipids. In eukaryotes , it is first acylated on its sn -1 position by an ER- or mitochondrial membrane enzyme, glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase .

  4. Glycerol kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_kinase

    Glycerol kinase, encoded by the gene GK, is a phosphotransferase enzyme involved in triglycerides and glycerophospholipids synthesis. Glycerol kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate from ATP to glycerol thus forming glycerol 3-phosphate: ATP + glycerol <=> ADP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

  5. Phospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid

    Phospholipid synthesis occurs in the cytosolic side of ER membrane [16] that is studded with proteins that act in synthesis (GPAT and LPAAT acyl transferases, phosphatase and choline phosphotransferase) and allocation (flippase and floppase). Eventually a vesicle will bud off from the ER containing phospholipids destined for the cytoplasmic ...

  6. Plasmalogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmalogen

    [1] [2] [3] In human heart tissue, nearly 30–40% of choline glycerophospholipids are plasmalogens. Even more striking is the fact that 32% of the glycerophospholipids in the adult human heart and 20% in brain and up to 70% of myelin sheath ethanolamine glycerophospholipids are plasmalogens. [11]

  7. Phosphatidic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidic_acid

    Besides de novo synthesis, PA can be formed in three ways: By phospholipase D (PLD), via the hydrolysis of the P-O bond of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to produce PA and choline. [4] By the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) by DAG kinase (DAGK). By the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid by lysoPA-acyltransferase (LPAAT); this is the most ...

  8. Lipogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis

    Triacylglycerol synthesis, on the other hand, occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of cells by bonding three fatty acid molecules to a glycerol molecule. Both processes take place mainly in liver and adipose tissue. Nevertheless, it also occurs to some extent in other tissues such as the gut and kidney.

  9. Phosphatidylglycerol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylglycerol

    Phosphatidylglycerol is a glycerophospholipid found in pulmonary surfactant [1] and in the plasma membrane where it directly activates lipid-gated ion channels. The general structure of phosphatidylglycerol consists of a L-glycerol 3-phosphate backbone ester-bonded to either saturated or unsaturated fatty acids on carbons 1 and 2.
