| Description | PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)), also known as pc(20:4(8z,11z,14z,17z)/20:4(8z,11z,14z,17z)) or PC(20:4/20:4), 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. PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, S-Adenosylhomocysteine and PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) can be biosynthesized from S-adenosylmethionine and pe-nme2(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)); which is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase. Furthermore, Cytidine monophosphate and PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) can be biosynthesized from CDP-choline and DG(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/0:0); which is mediated by the enzyme choline/ethanolaminephosphotransferase. Finally, PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) and L-serine can be converted into choline and PS(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)); which is mediated by the enzyme phosphatidylserine synthase. In cattle, PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis PC(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) pathway and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis pe(20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)/20:4(8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)) pathway. |
