Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoglycerides (PG)/glycerophospholipids play a key role in cell signaling systems. It also serves as an anchor for proteins in cell membranes.

General description

Phosphoglyceride (PG) are also referred as glycerophospholipid. It is an important component of membranebilayers. It has three-carbon backbone of glycerol, two long-chainfatty acids,esterified tohydroxyl groups on carbons 1 and 2 of the glycerol andphosphoric acidesterified to the C3hydroxyl group of glycerol. It is found at high levels in the membranes of all cells and at low levels in fat stores. 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (DOPG)/18:1 (Δ9-Cis) PGhas two hydroxyl groups in its head group. It is an anionic lipid.
