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.

General function:
Involved in phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferas
Specific function:
Catalyzes the three sequential steps of the methylation pathway of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, the SAM-dependent methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PMME), PMME to phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (PDME), and PDME to phosphatidylcholine (PC).

Specific function:
Catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Thought to participate in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism in biomembranes including eicosanoid biosynthesis. Independent of its catalytic activity, acts as a ligand for integrins. Binds to and activates integrins ITGAV:ITGB3, ITGA4:ITGB1 and ITGA5:ITGB1. Binds to a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1. Induces cell proliferation in an integrin-dependent manner.
