title: Subcellular distribution of lysophosphatidylinositol and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases in rat brain.
abstract: Lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase utilizing arachidonoyl CoA and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase utilizing linoleoyl CoA were measured in subcellular fractions of rat brain. In general, the distribution of activities paralleled that of NADPH--cytochrome c reductase. It is concluded that the endoplasmic reticulum is the major site of these acyltransferase activities in rat brain.
