Ether linked phospholipids act as precursors for important signaling molecules. They contribute to 20 percent of the total phospholipids in humans. Pathological conditions arise due to genetic disorders affecting the synthesis of ether phospholipids. Ether glycerolipids act as membrane molecules and cellular mediators.
