phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis from phosphoryl-ethanolamine via CDP-N-methylethanolamine

id: GO:0070833
name: phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis from phosphoryl-ethanolamine via CDP-N-methylethanolamine
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process that begins with an initial N-methylation with phospho-base phosphoethanolamine, followed by two downstream N-methylations on phosphatidyl-bases, phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine and phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine. The process ends with the conversion of a phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine to a phosphatidylcholine.
