Phospholipid Synthesis

Meaning

Phospholipid Synthesis is the essential cellular process responsible for manufacturing phospholipids, the primary structural components of all biological membranes, including the cell wall, mitochondrial membranes, and the nuclear envelope. This continuous biochemical activity is vital for maintaining membrane fluidity, integrity, and the function of embedded receptors and transport proteins. In hormonal health, robust synthesis is critical for cell-to-cell communication and the efficient binding of steroid and peptide hormones at the cell surface. Deficiencies in this process can compromise cellular signaling and metabolic function.
