Description

C26:1 Sphingomyelin is a naturally occurring sphingolipid that has been found in human aqueous humor.¹

Definition

ChEBI: N-(17Z-hexacosenoyl)-sphingosine-1-phosphocholine is a N-hexacosenoylsphingosine-1-phosphocholine consisting of sphingosine as the sphingoid base acylated at the N atom by a (17Z)-hexacosenoyl group. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a (17Z)-hexacosenoic acid.
