1,2-Dilinoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (CAS 998-06-1)

1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is classified as a phosphatidylcholine, which falls under the category of glycerophosphocholines. These compounds possess two fatty acid molecules attached to the glycerol backbone through ester linkages. Thus, 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine can be identified as a glycerophosphocholine lipid molecule. It is considered practically insoluble in water and exhibits a relatively neutral nature. 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine Within cells, it predominantly resides in the membranes and intracellular membranes, as predicted by its logP value. 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine actively participates in several enzymatic reactions. One notable reaction involves the biosynthesis of S-Adenosylhomocysteine and 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine, which can be derived from S-adenosylmethionine and pe-nme2(18:2(9Z, 12Z)/18:2(9Z, 12Z)). This process is mediated by the enzyme phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase. Additionally, the enzyme choline/ethanolaminephosphotransferase catalyzes the conversion of CDP-choline and DG(18:2(9Z, 12Z)/18:2(9Z, 12Z)/0:0) into Cytidine monophosphate and 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Lastly, through the interaction with phosphatidylserine synthase, 1,2-Dilinoleoyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine and L-serine can be converted into choline and PS(18:2(9Z, 12Z)/18:2(9Z, 12Z)).
