Sphingolipids

Source:http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/umls/id/C0037900

MSH: A class of membrane lipids that have a polar head and two nonpolar tails. They are composed of one molecule of the long-chain amino alcohol sphingosine (4-sphingenine) or one of its derivatives, one molecule of a long-chain acid, a polar head alcohol and sometimes phosphoric acid in diester linkage at the polar head group. (Lehninger et al, Principles of Biochemistry, 2nd ed),CSP: family of ceramides with various hydrophilic, O-linked head groups; found in membranes, especially in neural tissue.,NCI: A class of dietary lipids containing a long-chained sphingosine group (unsaturated amino alcohol with formula C18H37NO2), fatty acids bound to the NH2 group as an amide, and either sugars or phosphoric acid and alcohols bound to the primary hydroxy group .,NCI: Any lipid derived from the aliphatic amino alcohol sphingosine, in which a single fatty acid is covalently bound to sphingosine via an amide linkage. Various ester-linked substituents can result in generation of ceramides, sphingomyelins and glycosphi
