- Sphingolipid - Wikipedia
Sphingolipids are a class of lipids containing a backbone of sphingoid bases, which are a set of aliphatic amino alcohols that includes sphingosine
- A Comprehensive Review: Sphingolipid Metabolism and Implications of . . .
Sphingolipids are a class of amphipathic lipids which share a sphingoid base backbone that is N-acylated with various fatty acid chains This group includes lipids such as sphingosine, ceramide, S1P, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), and sphingomyelin (SM)
- Sphingolipids and their metabolism in physiology and disease
Recent advances have shed new light on the complexity of sphingolipid metabolism and their various roles in physiology and disease
- Sphingolipid | Membrane Structure, Signaling Metabolism | Britannica
sphingolipid, any member of a class of lipids (fat-soluble constituents of living cells) containing the organic aliphatic amino alcohol sphingosine or a substance structurally similar to it
- Sphingolipids and their long-chain bases and fatty acids - structure . . .
The sphingolipids comprise a wide range of complex lipids in which the defining component is a long-chain or sphingoid base (an amino-diol triol), which in living tissues is usually linked to a fatty acid via an amide bond J L W Thudichum, a German chemist working in London, first coined the root term "sphingo-” in 1884 following his discovery
- Sphingolipid – Definition, Structure, Types, Functions
Sphingolipids are a class of lipids that contain sphingoid bases, such as sphingosine, and play important roles in cell signaling and recognition The structure of sphingolipids is characterized by their unique backbone, known as sphingoid bases
- Sphingolipids - Chemistry LibreTexts
Sphingolipids are a second type of lipid found in cell membranes, particularly nerve cells and brain tissues They do not contain glycerol, but retain the two alcohols with the middle position occupied by an amine Sphingosine has three parts, a three carbon chain with two alcohols and amine attached and a long hydrocarbon chain
- Regulation of cellular and systemic sphingolipid homeostasis
This Review discusses the regulation of sphingolipid metabolism at the subcellular and organismal levels and explores the therapeutic potential of targeting sphingolipids in human diseases
