Sphingolipids

  • Chapter
Fungal Lipid Biochemistry

Part of the book series: Monographs in Lipid Research ((MLR))

Abstract

The sphingolipids are a large and complex group of lipids which are classified according to the nature, location, and number of substituents linked to certain long-chain amino alochols, i.e., glycosphingolipids and glycophosphosphingolipids. Considerable interest in these lipids has developed since they have been associated with certain human diseases called lipidoses. These diseases result from inborn errors in sphingolipid metabolism and are generally associated with the accumulation of these lipids in certain tissues.
