Sphingolipids

sphingolipid /sphin·go·lip·id/ (sfing″go-lip´id) a lipid in which the backbone is sphingosine or a related base, the basic unit being a ceramide attached to a polar head group; it includes sphingomyelins, cerebrosides, and gangliosides.

sphin·go·lip·id (sf

-l

d, -l

Any of a group of lipids, such as sphingomyelins or cerebrosides, that yield sphingosine or its derivatives upon hydrolysis.

sphingolipid

[sfing′gōlip′id]

Etymology: Gk, sphingein, to bind, lipos, fat

a compound that consists of a lipid and a sphingosine. It is found in high concentrations in the brain and other tissues of the nervous system, especially membranes.

sphingolipid [sfing″go-lip´id]

a phospholipid containing sphingosine (e.g., ceramides, sphingomyelins, gangliosides, and cerebrosides), occurring in high concentrations in the brain and other nerve tissue.

sphingolipid

one of the two dominant 'families' of lipids; a range of phospholipids containing sphingosine (e.g. ceramides, sphingomyelins, gangliosides and cerebrosides), occurring in high concentrations in the brain and other nerve tissue.
