Introduction of Phosphatidylethanolamine

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, also known as ceruloplasmin, is one of the important phospholipids that make up biological membranes. Among the phospholipids present in biology, PE is second only to lecithin in content, and in E. coli it accounts for about 80% of the total phospholipids. PE mainly exists in the brain, nerves, microorganisms and soybeans, and plays an important role in signal transduction and life-sustaining functions.
