Description
General description
Phosphatidylethanolamine is an aminophospholipid, which is found in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. It is one of the most abundant glycerophospholipids in biological membranes. Phosphatidylethanolamine is found in nervous tissue.
Application
18:0 PE has been used to prepare the intermediate 1,2-dioctadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DSPE)-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-SPDP for the preparation of Lipid-PEG-CpG.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylethanolamine forms pure lipid structures. It modulates membrane fluidity in eukaryotic cells. Phosphatidylethanolamine plays an important role in autophagy, cell division and protein folding. It acts as a precursor for the synthesis of various protein modifications. Phosphatidylethanolamine functions as an intermediate for the synthesis of glycerophospholipid classes.
