Description
1-O-hexadecyl-2-Eicosapentaenoyl-
sn-glycero-3-PC can be formed by incorporation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) into lyso-
PAF C-
16, as has been demonstrated using neutrophils from monkeys and humans fed a diet enriched in fish oils. 1-O-hexadecyl-2-Eicosapentaenoyl-
sn-glycero-3-PC can serve as a substrate for PAF C-
16 formation by the remodeling pathway.
Definition
ChEBI: 1-hexadecyl-2-[(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-eicosapentaenoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine O-36:5 in which the alkyl and acyl groups specified at positions 1 and 2 are hexadecyl and (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-eicosapentaenoyl respectively. It is a phosphatidylcholine O-36:5 and a 2-acyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It is functionally related to an all-cis-5,8,11,14,17-icosapentaenoic acid.
