General Information
Term phosphatidylcholine metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0046470 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving phosphatidylcholines, any of a class of glycerophospholipids in which the phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of choline. They are important constituents of cell membranes.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
