1-hexadecyl-glycero-3-phosphate
C19H41O6P (396.26406160000005)
1-hexadecyl-glycero-3-phosphate is also known as PA(O-16:0/0:0). 1-hexadecyl-glycero-3-phosphate is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and acidic. 1-hexadecyl-glycero-3-phosphate is a glycerophosphate lipid molecule
LysoPA(O-18:0/0:0)
LysoPA(O-18:0/0:0) is a lysophosphatidic acid. It is a glycerophospholipid in which a phosphate moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. Lysophosphatidic acids can have different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached at the C-1 (sn-1) or C-2 (sn-2) position. Fatty acids containing 16 and 18 carbons are the most common.LysoPA(O-18:0/0:0), in particular, consists of one octadecyl chain. Lysophosphatidic acid is the simplest possible glycerophospholipid. It is the biosynthetic precursor of phosphatidic acid. Although it is present at very low levels only in animal tissues, it is extremely important biologically, influencing many biochemical processes. 1-Octadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate is a lysophosphatidyl ether lipid. Ether lipids are lipids in which one or more of the carbon atoms on glycerol is bonded to an alkyl chain via an ether linkage, as opposed to the usual ester linkage. The formation of the ether bond in mammals requires two enzymes, dihydoxyacetonephosphate acyltransferase (DHAPAT) and alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase (ADAPS), that reside in the peroxisome.
