1-PALMITOYL-2-(5-OXOVALEROYL)-SN-GLYCERO-3-PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE

POVPC is a oxidized phospholipid that is commonly found as an active component of minimally modified low density lipoprotein. POVPC inhibits cell proliferation and exhibits cytotoxic effects in vascular smooth muscle cells.

ChEBI: 1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-(5-oxovaleryl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine having palmitoyl and 5-oxovaleryl groups at the 1- and 2-positions respectively; major species at pH 7.3. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer. It is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and an aldehyde. It is a conjugate base of a 1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-(5-oxovaleryl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(1+).
