phosphoethanolamine

phosphoethanolamine
A key intermediate in the formation of cephalins; formed in liver and brain by phosphorylation of ethanolamine.
- p. cytidylyltransferase a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of cephalins; it catalyzes the reaction of p. and CTP to form CDP-ethanolamine and pyrophosphate.
