Simple method for the preparation of phosphatidylcholine labelled at 2-acyl position

Journal Article · · Prep. Biochem.; (United States)
Phosphatidylcholine with a labelled acyl group at 2 position was prepared enzymatically from lysophosphatidylcholine and labelled fatty acids. Under optimal conditions, over 90% of (5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-/sub 3/H) arachidonic acid, (9,10-/sub 3/H) palmitic acids, (1-/sub 14/C) linoleic acid or (9,10-/sub 3/H) oleic acid was incorporated into the phosphatidylcholine, and the incorporation was quantitative up to 500 nmol of (1-/sub 14/C) linoleic acid. Analysis of the labelled phosphatidylcholine formed indicated that radioactivity was incorporated exclusively at 2-acyl position.
