Phospholipid Synthesis (Kennedy / CDP pathways) Lipid Metabolism · ER / Golgi

step 6 Irreversible/directional

Phosphatidylethanolamine + 3 SAM -> phosphatidylcholine + 3 SAH

Converts Phosphatidylethanolamine S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) into Phosphatidylcholine S-adenosylhomocysteine

Notes

Hepatic salvage route to PC; a major consumer of SAM and a link to the methionine cycle.
