The molecule is a sphingomyelin 39:1 obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of docosanoic acid with the amino group of 15-methylhexadecasphingosine-1-phosphocholine. It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is a N-acyl-15-methylhexadecasphing-4-enine-1-phosphocholine and a sphingomyelin 39:1. It derives from a 15-methylhexadecasphing-4-enine and a docosanoic acid.
