08:0 Lyso PC (1-Octanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a lysolecithin that can be hydrolyzed by Phospholipase A2 (HY-P3029)[1].
ChEBI: 1-octanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine zwitterion is an organic molecular entity and a 1-O-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. It is functionally related to an octanoate.
Lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) is linked to inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis. It enhances the expression of genes for growth factors and cellular adhesion molecules.
