Complex Lipid Flashcards
The only phosphoglyceride that is antigenic
Cardiolipin
Cardiolipin is found in
Inner mitochondrial membrane
3 major classes of plasmologers
Phosphotidal choline → heart
phosphotidal ethandomine → myelin
Phosphotidas serine
G lycerophospho lipid synthesis
CDP diacylglycerol + alcohol
CDP-alcohol + diacylglycerol
- —… can provide arachidonate for
eicosanoid synthesis
Phosphatidic acid
Bee and snake venoms are rich sources of
Phospholipase A2
Long chain FA+ amino group of sphingosine
Ceramide
Sphingonyelinase deficiency
Neumann - pick disease
Neutral glycosphingolipids
Globoside r cerebreside
Acidic Glycosphingolipids
Gangliosides
Sulfatides
Accumulation of gangliosides ❖Rapid, progressive and fatal
neurodegeneration ❖Blindness
❖Cherry red macula ❖Muscular weakness ❖Seizures
Tay Sachs disease
Accumulation of globosides
Fabry disease
❖Reddish-purple skin rash
❖Kidney and heart failure
❖Burning pain in lower extremities (peripheral neuropathy)
Fabry disease
Phosphatidic acid is composed of
-glycerol + phosphate + 2 fatty acyl chains
Plasminogens are…. Linked instead of….. Linked
Ether ester
Glycerophospholipid synthesis
– CDP-diacylglycerol + alcohol or
– CDP-alcohol + diacylglycerol
