Metabolite Identification
Common 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 exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, phosphorylcholine is involved in the phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis pathway. Phosphorylcholine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beer. Phosphorylcholine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as atlantic herrings (Clupea harengus harengus), chervils (Anthriscus cerefolium), spearmints (Mentha spicata), canola, and pears (Pyrus communis). This could make phosphorylcholine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Phosphorylcholine is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Phosphorylcholine.
