Glycerophosphoric acid (GPA) is a naturally occurring compound that plays a vital role in cell membranes as a component of the phospholipid bilayer. It provides energy to cells and contributes to membrane fluidity, stability, and the regulation of ion and metabolite transport. Moreover, glycerophosphoric acid participates in signal transduction pathways and the regulation of enzyme activity.
