The central role of phosphorylcholine in the metabolism of epidermis in the guinea-pig, Cavia porcellus.
1. CDP-choline, which has been identified for the first time in epidermis, accumulates when skin is deprived of glucose. 2. ATP and fatty acids depress uptake of [32P]orthophosphate into phosphorylcholine in skin maintained in vitro.
