Phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) are important for cellular structure and function. With a glycerol backbone, two fatty acids, and a phosphoethanolamine group, they are essential components of biological membranes.
PEs support mitochondrial function, regulate neuronal development and signaling pathways through protein interactions, and contribute to plant embryo viability and pathogen resistance in plants.
PE also directly contributes autophagosome formation. This process is essential for cellular cleanup, stress adaptation, and even longevity.
