PPT-Glycolipids OR Glycosphingolipids

What are Glycolipids Glycolipids are type of compound Lipids Chemically Esters of Fatty acids with Alcohol and contain additional group as Carbohydrate moieties Types Of Glycosphingolipids. Dr. Kevin Ahern. Nomenclature. Fischer Form. Haworth Form. Disaccharides. Sucrose (glucose + fructose). Lactose (glucose + galactose). Maltose (glucose + glucose). Disaccharides. Comprised of two sugars. Fatty Acid . Fatty . acids exist “free” in the body. Also found as fatty acyl esters such as triacylglycerol’s. . Low levels of free fatty acids occur in all tissues, . Plasma free fatty acids (transported by serum albumin) are in route from their point of origin (triacylglycerol of adipose tissue or circulating lipoproteins) to their site of consumption (most tissues. Proteoglycans are major components of connective tissue. Networks of protein and carbohydrate inter-actions fix a cell to the extracellular matrix. Some proteoglycans are components of cell membranes & influence surface interactions. Sphingolipids. Prof. Mamoun Ahram. Resources. This lecture. Lippincott’s Biochemistry, Ch. 17.

Triacylglycerols. are the major lipids in fat deposits. and in food, and their roles in lipid transport and. storage and in various diseases such as obesity, diabetes,. whose basic unit comprises of a sugar group attached to an alkyl chain. Many glycolipids are also naturally derived since these can be found in cell membranes. Their membrane and surfactant functions are largely understood through their . Genes which have more than two alleles.. Have . 3. or more alleles for the same gene (or at a single locus). . In Other Words – there are 3 or more alleles that create the different traits. . At most one individual will have 2 alleles or 1 pair  (unit factors exist in pairs).. by. Ms. . P. . . H. . Giri. Department of Microbiology. Deogiri . College, Aurangabad. B.Sc. F. Y.. Semester II.
