AB High-Yield  TermsTriglyceride:  also  called  triacylglyceride  or  triacylglycerol,  major  storage  form  of  lipid  in  the  body,  composed  of  a  glycerol  backbone  and  3  esterified  fatty  acidsPhospholipid:  major  lipid  component  of  all  cell  membranes,  composed  of  a  glycerol  backbone  esterified  to  2  fatty  acids  with  phosphate  esterified  to  the  sn3  position,  the  phosphate  group,  with  an  esterified  alcohol,  is  referred  to  as  the  polar  head  group  of  phospholipidsLipin:  a  family  of  enzymes  exhibiting  both  phosphatidic  acid  phosphatase  activity  involved  in  triglyceride  synthesis  and  transcriptional  coactivator  activity  regulating  expression  of  genes  involved  in  lipid  metabolism  and  adipocyte  differentiationPlasmalogens:  are  glycerol  ether  phospholipids  mainly  of  2  types:  alkyl  ether  (–O–CH2–)  and  alkenyl  ether  (–O–CH=CH–);  the  plasmalogen  platelet-activating  factor  (PAF)  is  one  of  the  most  potent  biological  lipids
