  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

    Glycerophospholipids of biochemical relevance are divided into three subclasses based on the substitution present at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone: acyl, alkyl and alkenyl. [4] Of these, the alkyl and alkenyl moiety in each case form an ether bond, which makes for two types of ether phospholipids , plasmanyl (alkyl moiety at sn-1 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid

    In the saccharolipids, a monosaccharide substitutes for the glycerol backbone present in glycerolipids and glycerophospholipids. The most familiar saccharolipids are the acylated glucosamine precursors of the Lipid A component of the lipopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacteria .

  6. Phosphatidylserine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylserine

    Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the major acidic phospholipid class that accounts for 13–15% of the phospholipids in the human cerebral cortex. [7] In the plasma membrane, PS is localized exclusively in the cytoplasmic leaflet where it forms part of protein docking sites necessary for the activation of several key signaling pathways.

  7. Phospholipid - Wikipedia

    Phospholipid arrangement in cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is the major component of lecithin.It is also a source for choline in the synthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons.

  8. POPC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POPC

    POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a phosphatidylcholine.It is a diacylglycerol phospholipid.It is an important phospholipid for biophysical experiments and has been used to study various subjects such as lipid rafts.

  9. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosylphosphatidylinositol

    Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (pronunciation ⓘ) or glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a phosphoglyceride that can be attached to the C-terminus of a protein during posttranslational modification.
