FAIRsharing record for: LIPID MAPS® Lipid Classification System Identifier

This FAIRsharing record describes: The LIPID MAPS® Lipid Classification System is comprised of eight lipid categories, each with its own subclassification hierarchy. All lipids in the LIPID MAPS® Structure Database (LMSD) have been classified using this system and have been assigned a unique LIPID MAPS® ID (LM_ID). LMSD can be searched by lipid class, common name, systematic name or synonym, mass, InChIKey or LIPID MAPS® ID with the search box in the banner, or alternatively, by LIPID MAPS® ID, systematic or common name, mass, formula, category, main class, subclass data, or structure or sub-structure with one of the search interfaces in the LMSD database section. Each LMSD record contains an image of the molecular structure, common and systematic names, links to external databases, Wikipedia pages (where available), other annotations and links to structure viewing tools. In addition to LMSD search interfaces, you can drill down through the classification hierarchy below to the LMSD record for an individual lipid. LM IDs are comprised of a unique 12 character identifier string based on the classification schema: two fixed database designation characters, a two letter lipid category code, two digit lipid species class code, two digit lipid species subclass code, and a unique four character identifier within a subclass.
