Glycolipid - Wikipedia
WEBGlycolipids 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.

Glycerolipids: Chemistry - SpringerLink
WEBGlycerolipids are a structurally heterogeneous group of lipids that play key structural and functional roles in bacterial, plant, and animal membranes. They all have at least one hydrophobic chain linked to a glycerol backbone in an ester or ether linkage.

WEBJul 25, 2024 · Glycerolipids. There are two main types of glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, and glyceroglycolipids, which are the most common lipids in membranes. Glycerophospholipids. Figure \(\PageIndex{15}\) shows the structural features and nomenclature for glycerophospholipids.
Glycerolipid Metabolism and Signaling in Health and Disease
WEBOct 1, 2008 · Because of the essential nature of the role of lipids, both at structural and signaling levels, any perturbation of their metabolism leads to a wide range of pathophysiological phenomena, including conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancer.
Glycerolipid - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBGlycerolipids are complex lipids formed by the condensation of one, two, or three fatty acid molecules on glycerol, a small compound with three carbon atoms (either numerically numbered C1, C2, C3, or, according to the Greek alphabet, Cα, Cβ, Cα’), with each one bearing a hydroxyl function OH (Fig. 1.10). Glycerol is a symmetrical molecule ...
Glycerolipid metabolism and signaling in health and disease
WEBGlycerol. Maintenance of body temperature is achieved partly by modulating lipolysis by a network of complex regulatory mechanisms. Lipolysis is an integral part of the glycerolipid/free fatty acid (GL/FFA) cycle, which is the focus of this review, and we discuss the significance of this pathway in the regula ….
Glycerolipid Metabolism | Pathway - PubChem
WEBMay 30, 2019 · The glycerolipid metabolism pathway describes the synthesis of glycerolipids such as monoacylglycerols (MAGs), diacylglycerols (DAGs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), phosphatidic acids (PAs), and lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs).
Structures, functions, and syntheses of glycero-glycophospholipids
WEBFeb 8, 2024 · Most glycerolipids have polar head groups containing phosphate esters or sugar moieties. However, trace components termed glycero-glycophospholipids, each possessing both a phosphate ester and a sugar moiety, exist in membranes. Recently, the unique biological activities of glycero-glycophospholipids have …
