Cannabis Compound 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 is a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). The phosphate of choline; and the parent compound of the Phosphorylcholine family. Phosphorylcholine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, phosphorylcholine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, cytidine triphosphate and phosphorylcholine can be converted into CDP-choline through the action of the enzyme choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase. In addition, phosphorylcholine can be biosynthesized from choline; which is catalyzed by the enzyme choline/ethanolamine kinase. In humans, phosphorylcholine is involved in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Outside of the human body, Phosphorylcholine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beers. Phosphorylcholine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as lemons, quinces, chinese cabbages, italian oregano, and chinese broccoli. This could make phosphorylcholine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Phosphorylcholine is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

ENPP7
Uniprot ID:
Q6UWV6
Molecular weight:
51493.415
General function:
Involved in metal ion binding
Specific function:
Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. Hydrolyze 1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PC) and 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-platelet-activating factor). The physiological substrate seems to be Lyso-PAF.

SMPD2
Uniprot ID:
O60906
Molecular weight:
47645.29
General function:
Involved in phosphatase activity
Specific function:
Phosphatase that has a high activity toward phosphoethanolamine (PEA) and phosphocholine (PCho). Involved in the generation of inorganic phosphate for bone mineralization.
Gene Name:
PHOSPHO1
Uniprot ID:
Q8TCT1
Molecular weight:
32350.505
General function:
Involved in metal ion binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to form ceramide and phosphocholine. Ceramide mediates numerous cellular functions, such as apoptosis and growth arrest, and is capable of regulating these 2 cellular events independently. Also hydrolyzes sphingosylphosphocholine. Regulates the cell cycle by acting as a growth suppressor in confluent cells. Probably acts as a regulator of postnatal development and participates in bone and dentin mineralization.
