Abstract:Ethanolamine glycerophospholipids of mammalian heart mitochondria have a high content of arachidonic acid. Since the presence of acyltransferases that acylate 1-radyl glycerophosphoethanolamine had not been reported in the organelle, it was not known whether this high arachidonate content could be attained by the deacylation-reacylation pathway. In this study we have detected the presence of acyl-CoA:1-acyl-glycerophosphoethanolamine acyltransferase and acyl-CoA:1-alkenyl-glycerophosphoethanolamine acyltransfe… 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.
