Phosphatidic acids are anionic phospholipids important to cell signaling and direct activation of lipid-gated ion channels. Hydrolysis of phosphatidic acid gives rise to one molecule each of glycerol and phosphoric acid and two molecules of fatty acids. They constitute about 0.25% of phospholipids in the bilayer.

Lysos is a village in Cyprus, about 36 kilometres from Paphos. The population was 160 in 2001. Being the largest in area of the villages of Cyprus, Lysos covers an area of approximately 10,000 acres in the province of Paphos. Built at an average altitude of 560 meters, the peak of Tripylos, located near the location Stavros tis Psokas, is considered to be the highest point of the settlement, which borders eastwards with Nicosia. Most of the village's area is covered by the Paphos forest, an important biotope of wild and endemic birds, while the wider area is crossed by many nature trails. Lysos is located in the outskirts of Paphos. The name itself has archaic origins and originates from the Greek word "liono" as it was an industrial area for the melting of metals. The archaeological findings here indicate settlements of Greeks from Asia Minor. Lysos receives approximately 615 mm of rainfall annually. The average yearly temperature is around 16.9 °C (62.4 °F).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">1-Lysophosphatidylcholine</span>

1-Lysophosphatidylcholines are a class of phospholipids that are intermediates in the metabolism of lipids. They result from the hydrolysis of an acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine. They are also called 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines. The synthesis of phosphatidylcholines with specific fatty acids occurs through the synthesis of 1-lysoPC. The formation of various other lipids generates 1-lysoPC as a by-product.

alpha/beta-Hydrolase domain containing 12 (ABHD12) is a serine hydrolase encoded by the ABHD12 gene that participates in the breakdown of the endocannabinoid neurotransmitter 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) in the central nervous system. It is responsible for about 9% of brain 2-AG hydrolysis. Together, ABHD12 along with two other enzymes, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and ABHD6, control 99% of 2-AG hydrolysis in the brain. ABHD12 also serves as a lysophospholipase and metabolizes lysophosphatidylserine (LPS).
