What is a plasmalogen? What do plasmalogens do?

Answer Posted / guest

Plasmalogens are identical to phospholipids EXCEPT the

ester bond. Figure 18.3. They serve important roles in
myelin (surrounding nerves) and heart muscle. Platelet
activating factor (PAF) is a plasmalogen that activates
platelet aggregation (blood clotting).
