The lipid metabolic network of S. cerevisiae. Enzymes are annotated by gene name (essential genes are indicated in red). The lipid metabolic network was compiled using the Saccharomyces Genome Database (www.yeastgenome.org) and references therein. Lipids monitored by absolute quantification are indicated by green circles. Lipids that were only identified are shown by gray circles. CL, cardiolipin; Cer, ceramide; CoA, coenzyme A; CDP-DAG, cytidine diacylglycerol; DAG, diacylglycerol; DMPE, dimethyl-phosphatidylethanolamine; FFA, free fatty acid; IPC, inositolphosphoceramide; LCB, long-chain base; LCBP, long-chain base phosphate; LPA, lysophosphatidic acid; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; LPI, lysophosphatidylinositol; LPS, lysophosphatidylserine; M(IP)2C, mannosyl-diinositolphosphoceramide; MIPC, mannosyl-inositolphosphoceramide; MMPE, monomethyl-phosphatidylethanolamine; PA, phosphatidic acid; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PG, phosphatidylglycerol; PGP, phosphatidylglycerolphosphate; PI, phosphatidylinositol; PIP, phosphatidylinositol-phosphate; PIP2, phosphatidylinositol-bisphosphate; PS, phosphatidylserine; TAG, triacylglycerol.
