15:0-18:1 PC 330716 1-pentadecanoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

15:0-18:1 PC is also known as 1-pentadecanoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and is a type of phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid molecule. It is also a diacylglycerol and phospholipid. Phosphatidylcholine is a crucial component of cell membranes and is found in abundance in various tissues throughout the body, particularly in cell membranes, where it plays a vital role in maintaining membrane integrity and fluidity.

The composition of this particular PC lipid molecule gives it unique chemical properties and functions within the body. Phosphatidylcholines are essential for various biological processes, including serving as surfactants in the lungs, aiding in the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine, and participating in cell signaling pathways. The fatty acid composition of phosphatidylcholines can vary, and different compositions can have different effects on cellular functions and health.

This is a glycerophospholipid where a phosphorylcholine group occupies a substitution site on the glycerol molecule. Phosphatidylcholines can feature various combinations of fatty acids with different chain lengths and degrees of saturation attached to positions C-1 and C-2. In E. coli, phosphatidylcholines are present in the integral component of the cell's outer membrane. Phospholipases hydrolyze them into 2-acylglycerophosphocholine and a carboxylate.
