plasmalogens — A group of glycerol based phospholipids in which the aliphatic side chains are not attached by ester linkages. Widespread distribution. Less easily studied than the acyl phospholipids … Dictionary of molecular biology
Plasmalogen — A plasmalogen is an ether lipid where the first position of glycerol binds a vinyl residue (from a vinyl alcohol) with the double bond next to the ether bond. The second carbon has a typical ester linked fatty acid, and the third carbon usually… … Wikipedia
Ether lipid — Ether lipids are lipids in which one or more of the carbon atoms on glycerol is bonded to an alkyl chain via an ether linkage, as opposed to the usual ester linkage. TypesEther lipids are called plasmalogens (1 O 1 alkenyl 2… … Wikipedia
