phosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process
id: GO:0046337
name: phosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The chemical reactions and pathways involving phosphatidylethanolamine, any of a class of glycerophospholipids in which a phosphatidyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl group of ethanolamine. It is a major structural phospholipid in mammalian systems. It tends to be more abundant than phosphatidylcholine in the internal membranes of the cell and is an abundant component of prokaryotic membranes.
