title: Membrane phospholipid composition, fluidity and phospholipase A2 activity of human hepatoma cell line HepG2.
abstract: 1. Investigations have been carried out on the phospholipid composition, physical state and phospholipase A2 activity of plasma and microsomal membranes from HepG2 cells. 2. The results showed a great similarity in the physico-chemical properties of plasma and microsomal membranes from HepG2 cells. 3. The activity of phospholipase A2 was found to depend on the membrane physical state in both types of membranes.
