Phosphatidylethanolamines

lipid

Phosphatidylethanolamine enrichment in atherosclerotic lipoproteins reflects atherogenic lipid remodeling.

Pathway placement
Cascade stepLipid retention & oxidation
Confidencemedium
RationaleLipoprotein and plaque lipid species; elevated in proatherogenic lipidome.
Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).

Type I vs non-Type I discrimination

ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)
R — rupture / Type-I
65
C — non-Type-I
65
A — assay feasibility
40
E — evidence strength
29
T1DI (composite)

Specificity differential (R−C)0
Non-Type-I axis panel
Does this marker also move in each non-Type-I setting? mag 0–3; higher means less Type-I-specific. n/a = no evidence retrieved, which is not the same as no change.
No non-Type-I axis evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
