Abstract:Homogenates and subcellular fractions of rat chorioallantoic placentas obtained on the 14th day of gestation were assayed for acyl-CoA: lysophospholipid acyltransferase activities using (14C)-linoleic acid, ATP, and CoA, or (14C)-oleoyl-CoA as acyl donor and 1-acylglycerophosphorylcholine or 1-acylglycerophosphorylethanolamine as acyl acceptor. We found that: (1) the Lands’ deacylation-reacylation cycle is present in the rat placenta, (2) the enzymes were concentrated in the microsomal fr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
