Term Name: glycolipid biosynthetic process
Synonyms: glycolipid anabolism, glycolipid biosynthesis, glycolipid formation, glycolipid synthesis
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glycolipid, a class of 1,2-di-O-acylglycerols joined at oxygen 3 by a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate part (usually a mono-, di- or tri-saccharide).
