Generation of new lipids by fatty acid and headgroup remodelling reactions. Panel (A) shows fatty acid remodelling by deacylation/reacylation reaction (the Lands cycle), in which phospholipase A2 and fatty acyl CoA transferase enzymes are involved. Panel B indicates the generation of new lipids by headgroup or base-exchange reactions (Das et al. 2001; Das et al. 2002).
