Abstract
1. 1. A study on the specificity of rat-liver lysophospholipase activity (EC 3.1.1.5) revealed that both 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine and 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine are deacylated. From both positional isomers the unsaturated analogs appeared to be degraded at higher rates.
2. 2. Circumstantial evidence is presented indicating that 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine can be attacked directly by this lysophospholipase
