General description

Phosphocholine (PC) is an intermediate of phosphatidylcholine synthesis catalyzed by choline kinase. It is a phosphomonoester and contributes to the membrane phospholipids. 16:0-02:0 PC is an oxidized phospholipid and an analog of platelet activating factor (PAF).

Application

16:0-02:0 PC might be used in liposomes to study the hydrolyzing action of lysosomal phospholipase A2 (LPLA2) on truncated oxidized phosphatidylcholine in vitro.

Biochem/physiol Actions

16:0-02:0 PC acts as a receptor (PAF-R) agonist. Increase in the level of phosphocholine (PC) is observed in Alzheimer′s disease.

At early stages of Alzheimer's disease, phosphomonoesters (PMEs) including phosphocholine (P-choline) are present at elevated levels. PMEs also are elevated in the developing brain during the period of neurite extension. To determine if the elevation of PMEs in AD could

Truncated oxidized glycerophospholipids (ox-PLs) are bioactive lipids resulting from oxidative stress. The catabolic pathways for truncated ox-PLs are not fully understood. Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (LPLA2) with phospholipase A and transacylase activities is a key enzyme in phospholipid homeostasis. The present

Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are increasingly recognized to play a role in a variety of normal and pathological states. OxPLs were implicated in regulation of inflammation, thrombosis, angiogenesis, endothelial barrier function, immune tolerance and other important processes. Rapidly accumulating evidence suggests
