1-OCTADECANOYL-2-[(CIS,CIS,CIS,CIS)-5,8,11,14-EICOSATETRAENOYL]-SN-GLYCERO-3-PHOSPHOCHOLINE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

18:0-20:4 PC is suitable for use:

• in the preparation of liposomes
• in the synthesis of diacylglycerol
• as substrate to determine the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2)

Definition

ChEBI: 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine 38:4 in which the two acyl substituents at positions 1 and 2 are specified as stearoyl and arachidonoyl respectively. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a phosphatidylcholine 38:4 and a 1-acyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It is functionally related to an octadecanoic acid.

Biological Activity

18:0-20:4 phosphatidylcholine (PC) is more prominent in specialized membranes like synaptic vesicles. Phosphatidylcholine is one of the major glycerophospholipids of the eukaryotic membranes. It is essential for maintaining the structure and functions of the membrane. PC is the precursor for various second messenger like phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol.
