Ether glycerophospholipid control of peroxisome degradation confers protection from ischemia
Ether glycerophospholipids (ether lipids) are a subclass of glycerophospholipids that are synthesized at the peroxisome and constitute nearly 20% of the total phospholipid content in metazoans. Biochemically, ether lipids have an alkyl chain attached by an ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone (alkyl-ether) primarily containing choline or ethanolamine head groups. Some ether…
