MeSH

A trihydroxy sugar alcohol that is an intermediate in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It is used as a solvent, emollient, pharmaceutical agent, or sweetening agent.

Year introduced: 1998

An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of glycerol 3-phosphate from ATP and glycerol. Dihydroxyacetone and L-glyceraldehyde can also act as acceptors; UTP and, in the case of the yeast enzyme, ITP and GTP can act as donors. It provides a way for glycerol derived from fats or glycerides to enter the glycolytic pathway. EC 2.7.1.30.

Year introduced: 1991(1975)

An NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to glycerone phosphate.

Year introduced: 2006(1982)

An enzyme that transfers acyl groups from acyl-CoA to glycerol-3-phosphate to form monoglyceride phosphates. It acts only with CoA derivatives of fatty acids of chain length above C-10. Also forms diglyceride phosphates. EC 2.3.1.15.

Year introduced: 1998(1975)

An enzyme in the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. EC 4.1.1.48.

Year introduced: 1991(1975)

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycerol monoesters of long-chain fatty acids EC 3.1.1.23.

Year introduced: 1991(1975)

desmuramyl peptidolipid analog of MDP-L-Ala-glycerol mycolate which is just as active in stimulating non-specific resistance to bacterial infections, although devoid of adjuvant activity & pyrogenicity

Date introduced: July 25, 1980

An enzyme that catalyzes the acyl group transfer of ACYL COA to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to generate 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. This enzyme has alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subunits.

Year introduced: 2006(1980)

muramyl dipeptide (MDP) deriv bearing a lipophilic moiety on the C-terminal end; induces delayed-type hypersensitivity as a non-specific immunostimulant & gives higher protection against bacterial infection than does MDP

Date introduced: July 25, 1980

do not confuse with PGP1 protein, Arabidopsis

Date introduced: January 1, 1970

An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL and CMP from CDP-DIACYLGLYCEROL and MYOINOSITOL.

Year introduced: 2006(1980)

A nitrogen-free class of lipids present in animal and particularly plant tissues and composed of one mole of glycerol and 1 or 2 moles of phosphatidic acid. Members of this group differ from one another in the nature of the fatty acids released on hydrolysis.

Year introduced: 1977

a long-chain diacylglycerol; RN given refers to compound with no isomeric designation of the glycerol C2

Date introduced: December 1, 1993

structure given in first source; RN given refers to the (beta-D-gluco)-isomer with no isomeric designation specified for locant in position 1

Date introduced: February 9, 1993

RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation

Date introduced: January 23, 1981

(Z)-9-Octadecenoic acid 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester.

Bacterial polysaccharides that are rich in phosphodiester linkages. They are the major components of the cell walls and membranes of many bacteria.

Year introduced: 1974(1971)

Phospholipids which have an alcohol moiety in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol. They are usually derivatives of phosphoglycerols or phosphatidates. The other two alcohol groups of the glycerol backbone are usually in ester linkage. These compounds are widely distributed in animal tissues.

Year introduced: 1988

A component of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINES or LECITHINS, in which the two hydroxy groups of GLYCEROL are esterified with fatty acids. (From Stedman, 26th ed)

Year introduced: 1973(1964)

Compounds in which one or more of the three hydroxyl groups of glycerol are in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol; one or two of the hydroxyl groups of glycerol may be esterified. These compounds have been found in various animal tissue.
