These esters are widely distributed in the body, especially in the brain and spinal cord, and are used as local hemostatics and as reagents in liver function test.

Any of a group of phospholipids found especially in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord.cephalin An obsolete, nonspecific term for a lecithin-like phosphatidic ester that was differentiated from phosphatidylcholines by the presence of a primary amino group. |
