The molecule is a sphingomyelin 41:1 obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetracosanoic acid with the amino group of 14-methylhexadecasphingosine-1-phosphocholine. It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It derives from a 14-methylhexadecasphingosine and a tetracosanoic acid.
