Abstract:
Cultured rat hepatocytes exhibit acid phospholipase A activity. On the basis of product formation from stereospecifically radiolabeled phosphatidylethanolamine substrates, phospholipases A 1 and A 2 have been identified with optimal activities at pH 4.5. According to subcellular fractionation studies, the acid phospholipases in hepatocytes appear to be located in the lysosomal compartment. Application of specific inhibitors of the biosynthesis, glycosylation, and translocation of lysosomal enzymes in hepatocyte cultures suggests a half‐life of approx. 1 day for the acid lysosomal phospholipase A 1 . About the same value for the half‐life was obtained for the lysosomal marker enzymes, acid phosphatase and β‐ N ‐acetyl‐D‐hexosaminidase.
