| phosphocholine | (CH3)3N+-CH2 CH2-OPO3 H-; choline O-phosphate;important in choline metabolism, e.g., as in cytidinediphosphocholine and in the biosynthesis of lecithins. Synonym: O-phosphocholine, phosphorylcholine. Phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyses the reaction of phosphocholine with CTP to form pyrophosphate and CDP-choline; the rate-limiting step of lecithin biosynthesis; the cytosolic form of the enzyme is inactive (a phosphorylated form of the enzyme). Phosphocholine diacylglycerol transferase, an enzyme in lecithin biosynthesis that catalyses the reaction of 1,2-diacylglycerol with CDP-choline to form CMP and phosphatidylcholine. (05 Mar 2000) |

| phosphocholine phosphatase | <enzyme> Unlike alkaline phosphatase the hamster heart enzyme has a different pH optimum and heat sensitivity and is not inhibited by amino acids Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetyl-CoA-1-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Transfers acetate from acetyl CoA to the sn-2-position of 1-alkyl-2-lyso-glycerophosphocholine, forming the substrate for 1-alkylglycerophosphocholine acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.67) Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acopc acetyltransferase, 1-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine-acetyl CoA acetyltransferase, alkyllyso-gp-acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, acetyl-coenzyme a-1-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
