Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is a crucial intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and glycolysis, participating in numerous metabolic pathways, including the Calvin cycle and glycolysis in plants.
sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate lithium is synthesized via the cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase pathway. This process involves the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate using NADH, which is generated during glycolysis.
Phosphatidic acid is a phospholipid and an intermediate in glycerolipid biosynthesis. It is a transient intermediate in the synthesis of various phospholipid species that is synthesized de novo in cells via multiple routes, including the glycerol-3 phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate pathways, enzymatic conversion of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase D, and acetylation of lysophosphatidic acid by lysoPA-acyltransferase, among others. It has roles in shaping cellular membranes, cellular signaling, vesicle fission and fusion, as well as mitochondrial division and fusion. It stimulates respiratory burst in neutrophils independent of diacylglycerol and activates monoacylglycerol acyltransferase, phospholipase C (PLC), Ras, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP4) kinase in several cell lines. Phosphatidic acids (egg) is a mixture of phosphatidic acids isolated from chicken egg with fatty acids of variable chain lengths.
D-Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway. [1] [2] In this pathway, transaldolase catalyzes the transfer of a three carbon dihydroxyacetone moiety from D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to generate D-fructose-6-phosphate . D-Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate is also an intermediate in carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, as well as in the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide, amino acids, secondary metabolites, and antibiotics.
