Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthanolamine
DescriptionEthanolamine, also known as aminoethanol or glycinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-aminoalcohols. These are organic compounds containing an alkyl chain with an amine group bound to the C1 atom and an alcohol group bound to the C2 atom. Ethanolamine exists as a liquid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Ethanolamine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ethanolamine is a potentially toxic compound. Ethanolamine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, irritable bowel syndrome, and ulcerative colitis; also ethanolamine has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including propionic acidemia and maple syrup urine disease.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in alkylglycerophosphoethanolamine phosphodies
Specific function:
Hydrolyzes lysophospholipids to produce the signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in extracellular fluids. Major substrate is lysophosphatidylcholine (PubMed:12119361). Also can act on sphingosylphosphorylcholine producing sphingosine-1-phosphate, a modulator of cell motility. Can hydrolyze, in vitro, bis-pNPP, to some extent pNP-TMP, and barely ATP. Involved in several motility-related processes such as angiogenesis and neurite outgrowth. Acts as an angiogenic factor by stimulating migration of smooth muscle cells and microtubule formation. Stimulates migration of melanoma cells, probably via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. May have a role in induction of parturition. Possible involvement in cell proliferation and adipose tissue development. Tumor cell motility-stimulating factor (By similarity). Required for LPA production in activated platelets, cleaves the sn-1 lysophospholipids to generate sn-1 lysophosphatidic acids containing predominantly 18:2 and 20:4 fatty acids (By similarity). Shows a preference for the sn-1 to the sn-2 isomer of 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PAF) (By similarity).
