Lecture Objective
1. To study the structure of physiologically important
phospholipid classes- glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids.
2. To discuss the synthesis of phospholipids of clinical and
physiological relevance and their degradation by
phospholipases.

1. The liver requires a mechanism for producing PC, even when free
choline levels are low, because it exports تـــصدرsignificant
amounts of PC in the bile and as a component of serum lipoproteins.
2. To provide the needed PC, PS is decarboxylated تـــحولاــلىto
phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by بـــواـسطهـ اـنزيمـPS
decarboxylase, an enzyme requiring pyridoxal phosphate as a
cofactor.
3. PE then undergoes 3 methylation steps to produce PC, as
illustrated in Figure 17.6.
4. S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the methyl group donor lead to
S-adenosylhomocysteine
C. Phosphatidylserine (PS)
Sphingomyelin, a sphingosine-based
phospholipid, is a مهمهـmajor structural lipid in
the membranes of nerve tissue.
The synthesis of sphingomyelin is shown
in Figure, Briefly, palmitoyl CoA
condenses with serine, as coenzyme A and
the carboxyl group (as CO2) of serine are
lost.
This reaction, like the decarboxylation
reactions involving amino acids, requires
pyridoxal phosphate (a derivative of
vitamin B6) as a coenzyme.
The product is reduced in an NADPH-requiring reaction to
sphinganine, which is acylated at the amino group with one of a
variety of long-chain fatty acids, and then desaturated to produce
مهمهـa ceramide--the immediate precursor of sphingomyelin.
