Metabolite Identification
Common NameSn-Glycerol-1-phosphate
DescriptionSn-glycerol-1-phosphate is a glycerol phosphate. It is a key substrate in phospholipid synthesis and phosphatidylglycerol sbiosynthesis. The sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (plsB) of Escherichia coli is a key regulatory enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step in phospholipid biosynthesis. (PMID 9393688 ) Fosmidomycin is a hydrophilic molecule and in many bacteria its uptake is an active process involving a cAMP dependent glycerol-3-phosphate transporter (GlpT). (PMID 18489786 )
