Description
PSPC; PC(16:0-18:0), also known as 1-palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is an assymetrical phospholipid containing saturated palmitic and stearic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 position respectively. The phosphate group is attached to choline.
Uses
1-Palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is used as a potential plasma biomarker associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy.
Definition
ChEBI: 1-hexadecanoyl-2-octadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine 34:0 in which the 1- and 2-acyl groups are specified as hexadecanoyl (palmitoyl) and octadecanoyl (stearoyl) respectively. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid and an octadecanoic acid.
