[Spontaneous phospholipase A activity of rat pancreatic homogenates].
Rat pancreas presents a spontaneous phospholipase A activity which appears before trypsin activation at optimal pH 6.5. The responsible enzyme is independent of pancreatic prophospholipase A, as can be seen through experiments done in the presence of trypsin inhibitors. On the other hand, this enzyme is distinct from excretory phospholipase which is more active and whose optimal pH is 8.8. Thermostability and insensibility of spontaneously active phospholipase A to DFP differentiate it from lipase, carboxyl-esterhydrolase and lysophospholipase, respectively.
