What would be the effect on triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis if the gene for the lipin protein is underexpressed? place each of the six examples below into the appropriate bin?

The concentration of the lipids will increase: phospholipids generated from CDP-DAG and a polar head group

The concentration of the lipids will decrease: phophosplipids generated from DAG and activated head groups "triacylglycerols"

If the gene of the lipid protein is under-expressed, it will have the following effects on triacylglycerol and phospholipid synthesis;

There will be an increase in the concentration of these lipids, phospholipids generated from (Cytidine Diphosphate Diacylglycerol) CDP-DAG and a polar head group

Concentration of these lipids will decrease:

phophosplipids generated from

(diglyceride, or diacylglycerol) DAG and activated head groups

triacylglycerols.

A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri - and glyceride). A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri - and glyceride).

Phospholipids are molecules with hydrophilic phosphate heads and hydrophobic lipid tails. They comprise cellular membranes, regulate certain cellular processes, and possess both stabilizing and dynamic qualities that can aid in drug delivery.
