Abstract
The fatty acid compositions of 1,2-diacylglycerol and polyphosphoinositides have been determined in human erythrocyte membranes that have been incubated in the presence or in the absence of Ca2+. The results show that the diacylglycerol that is formed in Ca2+-treated membranes has a fatty acid composition closely similar to that of the inositides, consistent with previous indications that Ca2+ stimulates the activity of a polyphosphoinositide phosphodiesterase in the membranes. In contrast with some previous results, it appears that these plasma-membrane inositides and their derived diacylglycerols are rich in stearic acid and arachidonic acid.Entities:
