MSH: GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS in which one of the two acyl chains is attached to glycerol with an ether alkenyl linkage instead of an ester as with the other glycerophospholipids.,CSP: a class of membrane phospholipids found in platelets, muscle, myelin, and elsewhere.,NCI: An ether lipid in which glycerol is covalently bound to a polar phospholipid head group like choline or ethanolamine, a typical ester-linked fatty acid, and an ether-linked fatty acid, which is usually a vinyl alcohol. Plasmalogens occur in nervous tissues, testes and kidneys at significant levels in vertebrates.,NCI: A glycerophospholipid with an enol ether double bond in the sn-1 position of its glycerol backbone.
