Database
URL
Details
ChEBI
www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi
A database and ontology for chemical entities of biological interest including
lipids
ChemBank
www.chembank.broadinstitute.org
A small-molecule screening and cheminformatics resource database
HMDB
http://www.hmdb.ca
It is a freely available electronic database containing detailed information
about small-molecule metabolites found in the human body. It contains 42,003
metabolite entries including both water-soluble and lipid-soluble metabolites
as well as metabolites that would be regarded as either abundant (>1 uM) or
relatively rare (<1 nM). It supports extensive text, sequence, chemical
structure, and relational query searches
KEGG lipids
http://www.genome.jp/kegg-in/get_htext?br08002.kegg
It provides lipid pathway maps as well as associated information such as the
name, formula, mass, structure, biochemical reactions, and external links to
other public databases
LIPID MAPS http://www.lipidmaps.org
Database incorporating structure and annotation of lipids. It classifies lipids
into eight categories, fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids,
saccharolipids, sphingolipids, sterol lipids, prenol lipids, and polyketides, and
contains around 40,360 structures in its LIPID MAPS Structure Database
(LMSD), each assigned with a specific LIPID MAPS ID
LipidBank
http://lipidbank.jp
Database for natural lipids including fatty acids, glycerolipids, sphingolipids,
sterols and various vitamins. It contains >6000 unique molecular structures
and their annotation
LIPIDAT
www.lipidat.chemystry.ohio-state.edu/home.stm
It is a relational database of thermodynamic and associated information on
lipid mesophase and crystal polymorphic transitions, containing 15,385 lipid
molecular structures
LipidHome
https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/lipidhome
A database of theoretical lipids optimized for high-throughput mass
spectrometry lipidomics
