sphing-4-enine

Three steps

• a ganglioside GD1b (d18:1(4E))Reach from here →
  1. UDP-alpha-D-galactose:sphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase
  2. UDP-alpha-D-galactose:sphingosine 1-beta-galactosyltransferase
  3. beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GD2)

  Catalysed by B3GALT4cytosolOne of 2 routes

• cholesteryl (5Z,8Z,11Z)-eicosatrienoateReach from here →
  1. sphing-4-enine + a fatty acyl-CoA = an N-acylsphing-4-enine + CoA + H(+)
  2. a beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1')-N-acylsphing-4-enine + cholesterol = cholesteryl 3-beta-D-glucoside + an N-acylsphing-4-enine
  3. 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(5Z,8Z,11Z-eicosatrienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + cholesterol = cholesteryl (5Z,8Z,11Z)-eicosatrienoate + 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

  2. a beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1')-N-acylsphing-4-enine + cholesterol = cholesteryl 3-beta-D-glucoside + an N-acylsphing-4-enine
  3. 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(6Z,9Z,12Z-octadecatrienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + cholesterol = (6Z,9Z,12Z-octadecatrienoyl)-cholesterol + 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
