Phospholipase A-1 of human blood platelets.
Substantial phospholipase A(1) activity has been demonstrated in human blood platelets, and a rapid method for its measurement is described. The enzyme requires taurocholate for full activity and in these conditions the pH optimum is 4.8. The phospholipase activity is released from platelets by incubation with thrombin.
