Phosphatidylethanolamine of lung surfactant: proportion and fatty acid patterns of the alkylacyl, alkenylacyl and diacyl subclasses.
The phosphatidylethanolamine fraction isolated from lung surfactant consisted of 33% of the alkylacyl, 39% of the alkenylacyl and 25% of the diacyl subclass. Palmitic acid was the major fatty acid of the alkyl acyl and alkenylacyl subclasses. In diacylphosphatidylethanolamine, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids revealed a ratio of nearly 1.
