How Phosphatidylcholine Plays a Role in Methylation Biochemistry
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid that plays a role in methylation biochemistry. PC is the precursor of phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT) which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to PC. The PEMT enzyme requires S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor and generates phosphatidylcholine (PC) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) as products. PC is also a component of cell […]
