Glycerophospholipids in brain: their metabolism, incorporation into membranes, functions, and involvement in neurological disorders
AA Farooqui, LA Horrocks, T Farooqui - Chemistry and physics of lipids, 2000 - Elsevier
Neural membranes contain several classes of glycerophospholipids which turnover at
different rates with respect to their structure and localization in different cells and
membranes. The glycerophospholipid composition of neural membranes greatly alters their
functional efficacy. The length of glycerophospholipid acyl chain and the degree of
saturation are important determinants of many membrane characteristics including the
formation of lateral domains that are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Receptor-mediated …
