General Information

Term

phosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process

ID (Ontology)

GO:0046337 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways involving phosphatidylethanolamine, any of a class of glycerophospholipids in which a phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of ethanolamine. It is a major structural phospholipid in mammalian systems. It tends to be more abundant than phosphatidylcholine in the internal membranes of the cell and is an abundant component of prokaryotic membranes.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
