1-O-HEXADECYL-SN-GLYCERO-3-PHOSPHOCHOLINE

Description

Lyso-PAF C-16 can be formed by either the action of PAF-AH on PAF C-16, or by the action of a CoA-independent transacylase on 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acyl-glycerophosphocholine. Lyso-PAF C-16 is a substrate for either PAF C-16 formation by the remodeling pathway or selective acylation with arachidonic acid by a CoA-independent transacylase.

Definition

ChEBI: Lysophosphatidylcholine O-16:0/0:0 is a lysophosphatidylcholine O-16:0e in which the hexadecyl group at C-1 contains 16 carbons of which none are unsaturated. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a lysophosphatidylcholine O-16:0 and a 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
