Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPtdCho) is a phospholipid (and a lecithin) consisting of two palmitic acids attached of a phosphatidylcholine head-group and is the major constituent of many pulmonary surfactants. It is zwitterionic by virtue of having a negative charge on the phosphate group and a positive charge on the quaternary ammonium group.
As reported in Science, they recently found that in addition to regulating cell differentiation, DPP also synchronizes an entirely different biological process, cell division. In this multi-step cyclical process, cells make new DNA, copy it and then divide into two cells, thereby reproducing themselves.
