A novel pathway for lipid biosynthesis: the direct acylation of glycerol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate by acyl-CoA is regarded as the first committed step for the synthesis of the lipoidal moiety in glycerolipids. The direct acylation of glycerol in mammalian tissues has not been demonstrated.

Lipid biosynthesis in relation to chloroplast development in barley

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
During greening of detached leaves from dark-grown barley seedlings, the linolenic acid content of the lipids increases in the early stages of the formation of the chloroplast lamellar system.

Developing a genetic approach to target cyanobacterial producers of heterocyte glycolipids in the environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Heterocytous cyanobacteria are important players in the carbon and nitrogen cycle. They can fix dinitrogen by using heterocytes, specialized cells containing the oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme surrounded by a thick polysaccharide and glycolipid ...

Tumor lipids: Biosynthesis of plasmalogens

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1970
Labeled l-14C-l-3H-hexadecanol was incubated in vivo with Ehrlich ascites cells for 24 and 48 hours. The major distribution of radioactivity was found in the acyl, alkyl, and alk-l-enyl moieties of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and glyceryl ether diesters.
