Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoethanolamine (PEA) is a precursor to phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, involved in the biosynthesis of cell membrane. In human body, PEA is a product of degradation of sphingosine phosphate and endocannabinoid anandamide. PEA has potential cytotoxic properties and is known to induce the caspase-independent cell death. PEA is capable of inhibiting tumor growth in vitro and in vivo in mouse models.
