Metabolite Identification
Common NamePC(20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:0)
DescriptionPC(20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:0), also known as phosphatidylcholine(20:4/18:0) or gpcho(20:4/18:0), 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(20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:0) is considered to be a glycerophosphocholine lipid molecule. PC(20:4(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)/18:0) is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
