membrane lipids Flashcards
exam 3
lipids form the basis of all
biological membranes
cancerous cells up regulate ________ as they need to make membranes
lipid synthesis
lipid based 2 messengers play a hge role in
inflammation, pain, fever
accumulation of sphingolipids
LSD
have a scaffold and 3 FAs
storage lipids
have a scaffold and 1-2 FA chains
Structural lipids
have a glycerol backbone, 2 FA chains and head group attached to phosphate
glycerophospholipids
have a sphingosine backbone, 1 FA chain and phosphate choline
phosphosphingolipids
has a sphingosine backbone, 1 FA chain, and a head group based on either glucose or galactose
Glycolipid
saturated
1
unsaturated
2
glycerophospholipids:
________ which is attached to an alcohol head group; alcohol can be from many different molecules
position 3 has a phosphate group
amphipathic and forms bilayers spontaneously
glycerophospholipids
head is
hydrophilic
tail is
hydrophobic
unsaturated FA _________ the melting point and makes membrane _______ at normal body temperature
lowers and fluid
1,2-palmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine
lung surfactant
respiratory distress syndrom
lung surfactant deficiency
lung surfactant has 2 saturated FA that helps reduce
fluidity of membrane
formation of glycerophospholipids beings with either
Phosphatidic acid ( G3P) or DAG
to form the head group of glycerophospholipids, the phosphate needs to be
activated
that is so special of phosphatidyl serine?
it needs to be formed from an already made ethanolamine
methyl donor of body adds 3 methyl to PE to form PC
SAM
are enzymes that hydrolyze portions of Glycerosphingolipids molecules
phospholipases
