[edit] proposed organization

• signal transuction (DAG, IP3)
• eicosanoids
• mitogens/chemokines (sphingosine-1-phosphate [S1P], lysophosphatidic acid [LPA)
• endocannabinoids (anandamide [and other N-acylethanolamines], 2-arachidonoylglycerol)

[edit] don't forget:

• the endocannabinoids (e.g., anandamide)!
• Eicosanoids – I think these belong here. Is there a formal definition of lipid signaling? David.Throop 12:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To-do

• Describe general pathway roles
• Describe receptors activating the pathway, its downstream targets and role in various cell types and physiological processes
• Prepare a diagram
• Add references
