General description

Contains ~40% plasmalogen ether lipid
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a glycerophospholipid present abundantly in eukaryotes. It comprises 40-50% of the total phospholipid content in the cell membrane. PC is synthesized by the Kennedy pathway.

Application

Heart PC has been used in the preparation of phospholipid reference mixture.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the liver is responsible for the production of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). It is an important source for the formation of lipid mediators and secondary messengers.

Lysoplasmalogenase catalyzes hydrolytic cleavage of the vinyl-ether bond of lysoplasmalogen to yield fatty aldehyde and glycerophospho-ethanolamine or glycerophospho-choline. We recently purified lysoplasmalogenase from rat liver microsomes and identified the protein as TMEM86B, an integral membrane protein that is a member

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) of the globo-series constitute specific receptors for Shiga toxins (Stxs) released by certain types of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. Stx-loaded leukocytes may act as transporter cells in the blood and transfer the toxin to endothelial target cells. Therefore
