Glycerophospholipids, cephalins

Description:
Glycerophospholipids, specifically cephalins, are a class of phospholipids characterized by their dual hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making them essential components of biological membranes. They consist of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphate group, which is often linked to an amino alcohol such as ethanolamine. This structure allows cephalins to form bilayers that are crucial for cell membrane integrity and fluidity. Cephalins play significant roles in various biological processes, including cell signaling, membrane fusion, and the formation of lipid rafts. They are also involved in the metabolism of lipids and can act as precursors for bioactive molecules. The CAS number 39382-08-6 identifies a specific form of cephalins, which may vary in fatty acid composition and chain length, influencing their physical and chemical properties. Overall, cephalins are vital for maintaining cellular functions and contribute to the overall health of organisms.
