Application
16:0-02:0 PC might be used in liposomes to study the hydrolyzing action of lysosomal phospholipase A2 (LPLA2) on truncated oxidized phosphatidylcholine in vitro.
Biochem/physiol Actions
16:0-02:0 PC acts as a receptor (PAF-R) agonist. Increase in the level of phosphocholine (PC) is observed in Alzheimer′s disease.
General description
Phosphocholine (PC) is an intermediate of phosphatidylcholine synthesis catalyzed by choline kinase. It is a phosphomonoester and contributes to the membrane phospholipids. 16:0-02:0 PC is an oxidized phospholipid and an analog of platelet activating factor (PAF).
