Chemical Information
FooDB NamePhosphorylcholine
DescriptionPhosphorylcholine, also known as choline phosphate or CHOP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phosphocholines. Phosphocholines are compounds containing a [2-(trimethylazaniumyl)ethoxy]phosphonic acid or derivative. Phosphorylcholine is a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). The phosphate of choline; and the parent compound of the Phosphorylcholine family. Phosphorylcholine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, phosphorylcholine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, cytidine triphosphate and phosphorylcholine can be converted into CDP-choline through the action of the enzyme choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase. In addition, phosphorylcholine can be biosynthesized from choline; which is catalyzed by the enzyme choline/ethanolamine kinase. In humans, phosphorylcholine is involved in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Outside of the human body, Phosphorylcholine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beers. Phosphorylcholine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as lemons, quinces, chinese cabbages, italian oregano, and chinese broccoli. This could make phosphorylcholine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
