  2. Lecithin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin

    Lecithin contains dietary precursors to choline, an essential nutrient, which was formerly classified as a B vitamin (vitamin B 4). [17] [18] Lecithin is a mixture of fats that contains phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine, and the human body can convert phosphatidylcholine into choline.

  3. Phosphatidylcholine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylcholine

    The name lecithin was derived from Greek λέκιθος, lekithos 'egg yolk' by Theodore Nicolas Gobley, a French chemist and pharmacist of the mid-19th century, who applied it to the egg yolk phosphatidylcholine that he identified in 1847. Gobley eventually completely described his lecithin from chemical structural point of view, in 1874.

  4. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine

    Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is a phospholipid (and a lecithin) consisting of two C 16 palmitic acid groups attached to a phosphatidylcholine head-group. It is the main constituent of pulmonary surfactants, which reduces the work of breathing and prevents alveolar collapse during breathing.

  5. Egg lecithin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_lecithin

    An example of a phosphatidylcholine, a type of phospholipid in egg lecithin. Red - choline and phosphate group; Black - glycerol; Green - unsaturated fatty acid; Blue - saturated fatty acid. Egg lecithin is a type of lecithin, a group of compounds primarily containing phospholipids, that is derived from eggs.

  6. Phospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid

    Phosphatidylcholine is the major component of lecithin. It is also a source for choline in the synthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons. Phospholipids [ 1 ] are a class of lipids whose molecule has a hydrophilic "head" containing a phosphate group and two hydrophobic "tails" derived from fatty acids , joined by an alcohol residue ...

  7. Phosphocholine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphocholine

    Phosphocholine is an intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine in tissues. Phosphocholine is made in a reaction, catalyzed by choline kinase, that converts ATP and choline into phosphocholine and ADP. Phosphocholine is a molecule found, for example, in lecithin.
