CDP, serine, ethanolamine, or choline can replace phosphatidic-acid phosphate group to make other lipids {sphingolipid}. Palmitic acid, in CoA form, adds serine to replace CoA and then reduces to sphingosine. Acyl CoA can bind to sphingosine to make ceramide. CDP-choline can bind to ceramide to make sphingomyelin. UDP-sugar can bind to ceramide to make cerebroside. Sialic acid can bind to cerebroside to make ganglioside. Ganglioside is in synapses and nerve receptors.
