title: Rat liver microsomal phospholipase A2 and membrane fluidity.
abstract: The influence of the physical state and the lipid composition on microsomal membrane-bound phospholipase A2 activity has been investigated. It was established that the decrease of membrane fluidity expressed by the alterations of the steady-state fluorescent anisotropy (rs) and the structural order parameter for DPH (SDPH) leads to augmentation of phospholipase A2 specific activity. Phosphatidylinositol is the only phospholipid having a specific activating effect on microsomal membrane-bound phospholipase A2.
