1
New cards
Phosphoglycerides
Most common type of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone.
2
New cards
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)
Important in cell membrane fluidity and involved in signaling.
3
New cards
Phosphatidylserine (PS)
Plays a critical role in cell signaling and apoptosis; found on the inner leaflet of membranes.
4
New cards
Phosphatidylcholine (PC)
Major component of the lipid bilayer, involved in bilayer stability and membrane integrity.
5
New cards
Sphingolipids
Composed of a sphingosine backbone, important in membrane dynamics and signaling.
6
New cards
Sphingomyelin (SM)
Abundant in myelin sheath membranes surrounding nerve cells, crucial for proper nerve function.
7
New cards
Glycosphingolipids
Contain carbohydrate moieties, important for cell recognition and signaling processes.
8
New cards
Ceramides
Involved in signaling pathways and cellular aging, formed by sphingosine and fatty acids.
