Stimulation of Biosynthesis of Glyceride

Nature volume 216, pages 449–453 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

The biosynthesis of glycerides from glycerolphosphate and palmitate, catalysed by mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, is greatly stimulated by the supernatant fraction (6,000,000×g-min). This is caused by the presence of a specific phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, unsaturated long-chain fatty acids and unspecific protein(s) in the supernatant fraction.
