Sphingolipid
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Sphingolipids are any of a class of compounds that are fatty acid conjugates of sphingosine and occur chiefly in the cell membranes of the brain and nervous tissue. They not only help make up the structure of membranes but also have important cell signaling roles.[1]
