Abstract
Three separate prostaglandin-generating activities are associated with plasma membranes, mitochondria and microsomal fractions from rabbit kidney medulla. In the plasma membranes and mitochondria, but not in microsomal fractions, Ca2+ ions stimulate the activity of phospholipase A2, yielding selective release of arachidonic acid and linoleic acid and concomitant increase in prostaglandin E2 formation.Entities:
