  • Title: Acylation of 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylglycerol in a alveolar type II cells from rat lung.
    Author: Funkhouser JD, Batenburg JJ, Van Golde LM.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1981 Oct 23; 666(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 6895328.
    Abstract:
    1. Alveolar type II cells from adult rat lung have the enzymic capability to acylate 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidyl-glycerol, using palmitoyl-CoA to form dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol. 2. On a protein basis the acylation of 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylglycerol is at least 2-fold more active in sonicated type II cells than in whole lung homogenates. 3. Both type II cells and whole lung homogenates show higher activity towards palmitoyl-CoA than towards oleoyl-CoA for acylation of 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylglycerol. 4. Both in type II cells and in whole lung homogenates the rates of acylation of 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylglycerol and 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine with palmitate are of the same order of magnitude, while the rate of acylation of 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidylethanolamine is much lower.
