1-O-HEXADECYL-2-DOCOSAHEXAENOYL-SN-GLYCERO-3-PHOSPHOCHOLINE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

C16-22:6 PC has been used as a lipid reference standard in matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization- time-of-light (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-hexadecyl-2-[(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexaenoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine O-38:6 in which the alkyl and acyl groups specified at positions 1 and 2 are hexadecyl and (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexaenoyl respectively. It is a phosphatidylcholine O-38:6 and a 2-acyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It is functionally related to an all-cis-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaenoic acid.

Biological Activity

Phophotidylcholine (PC) plays a role in cellular and human physiology. It is a housekeeping component th at is involved in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes. PC is an essential component for the synthesis of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) from hepatocytes. It is also implicated in myelinating the nerve cells.
