Lysolipid Incorporation into Mitochondria PC(18:2(9Z,11Z)/18:2(9Z,11Z))
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Metabolic Pathway
Lysolipids such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylinositol get transported into the cell through a phospholipid ATPase. Once in the cytosol they are incorporated into the mitochondria membrane through a Ale1p transport membrane where phosphatidylcholine is generated.
