Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a class of phospholipids found in biological membranes. They are synthesized by the addition of cytidine diphosphate-ethanolamine

historical name for this measure is the Kaolin-cephalin clotting time (KCCT), reflecting kaolin and cephalin as materials historically used in the test.
