Glycerophospholipids, cephalins
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Glycerophospholipids and cephalins are a class of phospholipid compounds and important components of neural membranes. Glycerophospholipids and cephalins are hydrolysis substrates of phospholipase (such as PLA2, PLC, and PLD). After complete hydrolysis, they produce 1 mol of glycerol, phosphate, ethanolamine, and 2 mol of fatty acids, respectively. Glycerophospholipids and cephalins can maintain membrane structure, fluidity, and ion permeability, and serve as precursors of second messengers such as arachidonic acid and diacylglycerol. Glycerophospholipids and cephalins can regulate signal transduction, cell apoptosis, and membrane transport, and are used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease).
