Serine ethanolamine phosphodiester: a major component in chicken semen. 1978

C T Burt, and J M Chalovich

The phosphodiester, serine ethanolamine phosphodiester, has been found by 31P NMR to be present in chicken semen and the structure was confirmed by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. The presence of serine ethanolamine phosphodiester in chicken semen completes the analogy between the distribution of this compound in the tissues of the chicken and that of glycerol 3-phosphorylcholine in mammals.
