Glycerolipids are a large group of biological molecules necessary for membrane formation, caloric storage, and crucial intracellular signaling processes. These lipids are constructed upon an sn-glycerol-3-phosphate backbone scaffold by the attachment of long-chain acyl and alkyl groups, and a collection of polar alcohols. Phosphatidic acid is a central intermediate that is metabolized to either cytidine 5'-diphosphate-diacylglycerol for the synthesis of anionic lipid or diacylglycerol for the synthesis of zwitterionic and uncharged lipids. The final acyl constituents present in different glycerolipid classes are defined by dynamic remodeling reactions.
Glycerolipids are a class of lipids containing glycerol which long-chain hydrocarbons are attached to the hydroxyl groups via carboxylic acid ester linkages. Triacylglycerols are the storage form for fatty acids in fat cells. Glycerophospholipids (phospholipids) are the primary building blocks of cell membranes and define the lipid bilayer permeability barrier of membranes. Phospholipids are diacylglycerols with various alcohol phosphates in phosphodiester linkage to the free hydroxyl.
