- Abstract:
- Aminoglycerophospholipids phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) comprise about 80% of total cellular phospholipids in most cell types. While the major function of PtdCho in eukaryotes and PtdEtn in prokaryotes is that of bulk membrane lipids, PtdSer is a minor component and appears to play a more specialized role in the plasma membrane of eukaryotes, e.g., in cell recognition processes. All three aminoglycerophospholipid classes are essential in mammals, whereas prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes such as yeast appear to be more flexible regarding their aminoglycerophospholipid requirement. Since different subcellular compartments of eukaryotes, namely the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, contribute to the biosynthetic sequence of aminoglycerophospholipid formation, intracellular transport, sorting, and specific function of these lipids in different organelles are of special interest.
