Phosphatidate (phosphatidic acid) is a precursor in the synthesis of some lipids. Phosphatidate (phosphatidic acid) is a branched molecule. The core of the molecule is a three carbon chain. Carbon one is single bonded to two hydrogens, and a side chain. The side chain is oxygen single bonded to carbon. The carbon is double bonded to oxygen and an R 1 side chain. Carbon two of the core chain is single bonded 1 hydrogen and to oxygen which is single bonded to carbon. The carbon is double bonded to oxygen and single bonded to an R 2 side chain. Carbon three is single bonded to two hydrogens and a phosphate group. P O 4 2 minus. Phosphatidate (phosphatidic acid) Identify the lipids that have phosphatidate as a precursor.

The chemical compound known as Phosphatidate or the phosphatidic acid belongs to a group known as phospholipids. Phosphatidate or the phosphatidic acid can be prepared by using the chemical compound known as diacylglycerol kinase to phosphorylate diacylglycerol. Also, Phosphatidate (phosphatidic acid) can be prepared by making use of lysoPA-acyltransferase to acrylate lysophosphatidic acid[a phoshopipid derivative].

The lipids that have Phosphatidate (phosphatidic acid) as precursor are glycerolphospholipids, triacylglycerol, cardoilpin, phosphatidylinositol
