| Biochem/physiol Actions: | A major structural phospholipid in brain, comprising approx. 15% of total lipid; primarily localized to gray matter. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | It also acts as a source of lipid messengers/ bioactive lipids including: lysophosphatidylcholine, diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidylcholine, arachidonic acid and platelet activating factor. Phosphatidylcholine is produced in the liver by the CDP-choline (cytidine diphosphocholine) pathway. |
| General description: | Phosphatidylcholine belongs to the class of glycerophoshpolipids and contains choline as the head-group. Choline is attached to the glycerol of fatty acids ester-bound to backbone. It is the major phospholipid found in eukaryotic organism. |
