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 LIPID MAPS ID's which reflects their position in the classification hierarchy.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

LMPR0102010012   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^lipidmaps:LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example CURIE

lipidmaps:LMPR0102010012

ChEBI Data Sources

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 mappings to external registries for this resource with 7 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier LMPR0102010012 is used to demonstrate the providers available for LIPID MAPS. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
