Oxidized Phospholipid Degradation

Molecular classification
Enzymatic Pathway, Lipid Metabolism
01

Overview

Oxidized phospholipid degradation is the process by which the body breaks down oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), a diverse group of bioactive lipids formed by oxidative modification of phospholipids. This degradation is crucial for detoxifying pro-inflammatory lipid mediators, regulating immune responses, and preventing the accumulation of OxPLs implicated in diseases like atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation. Key enzymes involved include Lp-PLA₂, Platelet activating factor-acetylhydrolase, Lysosomal PLA₂, Aldoketoreductases, and Aldehyde dehydrogenases. The balance between OxPL formation and degradation is critical for maintaining health.
