Glycerophospholipid
Class of lipids / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glycerophospholipids or phosphoglycerides are glycerol-based phospholipids. They are the main component of biological membranes in eukaryotic cells. They are a type of lipid, of which its composition affects membrane structure and properties.[1] Two major classes are known: those for bacteria and eukaryotes and a separate family for archaea.[2]
