Ether lipid biosynthesis (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
Ether lipid biosynthesis in humans.
Ether lipids (e.g. plasmalogens), are peroxisome-derived glycerophospholipids where the hydrocarbon chain at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone is attached by an ether bond (single bond between carbon and oxygen atom). Ether lipids are used to form non-lamellar inverted hexagonal structures in model membranes (indicating they could facilitating membrane fusion processes). Lipid raft microdomains (cholesterol-rich membrane regions involved in cellular signaling) rely on ether lipids for their organization and stability. [PMID:2852343].
The pathway knowledge depicted in this model stems from Bob Murphy.Quality Tags
