# LipidBank - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `lipidbank.jp` ## Description LipidBank is the official lipid database of the Japanese Conference on the Biochemistry of Lipids (JCBL), providing an organized reference resource for information on lipid compounds. Its catalog includes 7,009 entries across a broad range of classes, including acylglycerols, bile acids, fatty acids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and fat-soluble vitamins. Users can explore more specific groups such as carotenoids, coenzyme Q, vitamins A, D, E, and K, glycosphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, and sphingophospholipids. The site presents information through a newly curated “wiki version” covering selected classes, including fat acyls, archaeal lipids, and sphingolipids, as well as a traditional class-based collection of entries. The traditional entries include physicochemical parameters and spectra, which are not available in the wiki version. LipidBank serves researchers and others seeking structured information about the diversity and properties of lipids for reference and research. The database was last updated on March 6, 2025, and carries JCBL copyright dated 1989–2025. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ - 🧪 Chemistry _(under Science and Education)_ - 🗺 Reference Materials - 🗺 Dictionaries and Encyclopedias _(under Reference Materials)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idBCnmQqim/w/318/h/189/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1793378268068) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Orange Peel | #ff9900 | accent | | Nutmeg Wood Finish | #663300 | dark | | Cream | #ffffcc | light | --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
