The chemical reactions involving monoacylglycerol, any ester of glycerol in which any one of its hydroxyl groups has been acylated with a fatty acid, the other being non-esterified.

The formation from simpler components of acylglycerol, any mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with (one or more) fatty acids.

The breakdown into simpler components of acylglycerol, any mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with (one or more) fatty acids.

The breakdown into simpler components of membrane lipids, any lipid found in or associated with a biological membrane.

The formation from simpler components of membrane lipids, any lipid found in or associated with a biological membrane.

The chemical reactions involving platelet activating factor, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphocholine, where alkyl = hexadecyl or octadecyl. Platelet activating factor is an inflammatory mediator released from a variety of cells in response to various stimuli.

Enables the directed movement of fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis.

Enables the directed movement of aminophospholipids into, out of, within or between cells. Aminophospholipids contain phosphoric acid as a mono- or diester and an amino (NH2) group.

Enables the directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells. Sterol are steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule.

The chemical reactions involving diaminopimelate, the anion of the dicarboxylic acid 2,6-diaminoheptanedioic acid. It is an intermediate in lysine biosynthesis and as a component (as meso-diaminopimelate) of the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative bacterial cell walls.

Enables the directed movement of flavin-adenine dinucleotide (FAD) into, out of, within or between cells. FAD forms the coenzyme of the prosthetic group of various flavoprotein oxidoreductase enzymes, in which it functions as an electron acceptor by being reversibly converted to its reduced form.
