Metabolite Identification
Common NamePC(16:0/16:0)
DescriptionPC(16:0/16:0), also known as DPPC or 16:0-16:0-PC, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphatidylcholines. These are glycerophosphocholines in which the two free -OH are attached to one fatty acid each through an ester linkage. Thus, PC(16:0/16:0) is considered to be a glycerophosphocholine lipid molecule. PC(16:0/16:0) exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. PC(16:0/16:0) exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In cattle, PC(16:0/16:0) is involved in the metabolic pathway called phospholipid biosynthesis pathway.
