Abstract

Since its discovery in the 19th century, phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been regarded primarily as a structural lipid. However, more recent evidence, much of it in the last five years, strongly suggests that PC has other roles. Here, we explore some of that new evidence and consider the possibility that the ultimate role of phosphatidylcholine may not be predictable.

磷脂酰胆碱的功能超出了膜砖的功能。

磷脂酰胆碱(PC)自19世纪被发现以来，一直被认为是一种结构脂质。然而，最近的证据(大部分是在过去5年里)强烈表明，个人电脑还有其他作用。在这里，我们探讨了一些新的证据，并考虑磷脂酰胆碱的最终作用可能是不可预测的可能性。

期刊介绍： Cessation. Molecular Membrane Biology provides a forum for high quality research that serves to advance knowledge in molecular aspects of biological membrane structure and function. The journal welcomes submissions of original research papers and reviews in the following areas: • Membrane receptors and signalling • Membrane transporters, pores and channels • Synthesis and structure of membrane proteins • Membrane translocation and targeting • Lipid organisation and asymmetry • Model membranes • Membrane trafficking • Cytoskeletal and extracellular membrane interactions • Cell adhesion and intercellular interactions • Molecular dynamics and molecular modelling of membranes. • Antimicrobial peptides.
