Biosynthesis of membrane lipids

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-Bisphosphate, a Precursor of Second Messengers, Is Synthesized via CDP-Diacylglycerol 

The Final Reactions for Phospholipid Biosynthesis Occur on the Cytosolic Surface of the Endoplasmic Reticulum 

In the Liver, Regulation Gives Priority to Formation of Structural Lipids Over Energy-Storage Lipids 

Sphingomyelin Is Formed Directly from Ceramide Glycosphingolipid Synthesis Also Starts from Ceramide 

Glycosphingolipids Function as Structural Components and as Specific Cell Receptors Defects in Sphingolipid Catabolism Are Associated with Metabolic Diseases

Thus far we have been concerned with the metabolism of fatty acids in relationship to the storage and release of energy. In chapter 19, Biosynthesis of Membrane Lipids, we focus on the metabolism of lipids that serve other roles. Many types of lipids are essential membrane components. A number of lipids also function as metabolic signals in response to hormonal signals. These lipid molecules are known as second messengers.
