What lipids have phosphatidate as a precursor?

Answer 1

Triacylglycerols for energy storage and phospholipids for cellular membranes.

An intermediary in the production of phospholipids (cellular membranes) and triacylglycerols (energy storage) is phosphatidate (diacylglycerol 3-phosphate).

Phosphatidate is a precursor to various classes of lipids, including phospholipids (such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine), as well as triacylglycerols (triglycerides) and cardiolipin.
