Epidermis is a skin layer with five sublayers. One of its sublayer is the Stratum Granulosum or the Granular layer which secretes the waterproofing glycolipid that controls water loss in the epidermis.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of glycolipid in the plasma membrane?
They act as receptors.They are important in identifications.
What lipid type is the cell membrane?
Mainly Phospholipid , Partly Glycolipid and cholesterol
What is the structure called?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid.
What is a waterproofing glycolipid?
Epidermis is a skin layer with five sublayers. One of its sublayer is the Stratum Granulosum or the Granular layer which secretes the waterproofing glycolipid that controls water loss in the epidermis.
What is major factor accounting for the waterproof nature of skin?
Glycolipid (lamellated granules) between stratum corneum cells.These granules accumulate in the keratinocytes of the stratum granulosum, and contain a waterproof glycolipid that is excreted into extracellular space helping to slow water loss across the epidermis.

What is the name of the carbohydrate attached to phospholipid?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid. -A protein attached to a carbohydrate is called a Glycoprotein.
What has the author Gregory S Retzinger written?
Gregory S. Retzinger has written: 'The role of surface in the biological activities of the mycobacterial glycolipid trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate'
What glycolipid is in the epidermis?
Ceramides are the main glycolipids found in the epidermis. They play a critical role in maintaining the skin barrier function by helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors.
What is the function of a glycolipid and where is it found?
Glycolipids play a role in cell recognition and cell signaling. They are found in cell membranes, where they help maintain the structure and stability of the membrane and are involved in interactions between cells.
