Metabolite: HMDB0007098 (DG(16:0/16:0/0:0))
Term: Glycerolipid metabolism
Definition: the synthesis of diacylglycerol (dag) begins with glycerol-3-phosphate, which is derived primarily from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (dhap), a product of glycolysis (usually in the cytoplasm of liver or adipose tissue cells) or from glycerol itself. glycerol-3-phosphate is first acylated with acyl-coenzyme a (acyl-coa) to form lysophosphatidic acid.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
Parent Definition: A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
