12-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine

PE (14:0/14:0) is a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE or GPEtn) . It is a glycerophospholipid in which a phosphorylethanolamine moiety occupies a glycerol substitution site. PE (14:0/14:0) in particular consists of two chains of myristic acid at the C-1 and C-2 positions. The myristic acid moieties are derived from nutmeg and butter. Phospholipids are ubiquitous in nature and are key components of the lipid bilayer of cells as well as being involved in metabolism and signaling.
