Figure 1.3 Simplified pathways and network of the common sphingolipid classes and other related lipids. The network and the pathways are derived from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway databases. The pathways indicate the origins of sphingoid base core structures and their derivatives. Other sphingoid bases can be biosynthesized from other fatty acyl CoA by the replacement of palmitoyl CoA or some other amino acids replacing serine. The structures of individual lipid classes and their abbreviations used in the book are indicated in Figure 1.6.
