Abstract

Since its discovery in the 19th century, phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been regarded primarily as a structural lipid. However, more recent evidence, much of it in the last five years, strongly suggests that PC has other roles. Here, we explore some of that new evidence and consider the possibility that the ultimate role of phosphatidylcholine may not be predictable.
