Introduction

guidelines
PE(15:0/18:4(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)) is a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE or GPEtn). It is a glycerophospholipid in which a phosphorylethanolamine moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. As is the case with diacylglycerols, glycerophosphoethanolamines can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached at the C-1 and C-2 positions. Fatty acids containing 16, 18 and 20 carbons are the most common. PE(15:0/18:4(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)), in particular, consists of one chain of pentadecanoic acid at the C-1 position and one chain of stearidonic acid at the C-2 position. The pentadecanoic acid moiety is derived from dairy products and milk fat, while the stearidonic acid moiety is derived from seed oils. Phospholipids, are ubiquitous in nature and are key components of the lipid bilayer of cells, as well as being involved in metabolism and signaling.
