Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycerylphosphorylethanolamine
DescriptionGlycerylphosphorylethanolamine, also known as GPEA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycerophosphoethanolamines. These are glycerolipids characterized by an ethanolamine ester of glycerophosphoric acid. As is the case with diacylglycerols, glycerophosphoethanolamines can have many different combinations of fatty acids of varying lengths and saturation attached to the C-1 and C-2 atoms. Glycerylphosphorylethanolamine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
