MeSH Heading: Phospholipid Ethers
Tree Number(s): D02.033.800.875.875.750; D02.355.460.750; D10.570.755.375.760.400.985
Unique ID: D010742
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010742
Scope Note: Phospholipids which have an alcohol moiety in ethereal linkage with a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic alcohol. They are usually derivatives of phosphoglycerols or phosphatidates. The other two alcohol groups of the glycerol backbone are usually in ester linkage. These compounds are widely distributed in animal tissues.
