Acyl‐CoA: sn‐Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate O‐Acyltransferase in Rat Brain Mitochondria and Microsomes

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of acyl-CoA: sn-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase between brain mitochondria and microsomes was investigated. The activities associated with purified rat brain mitochondrial and microsomal preparations could be distinguished by differences in their acyl-CoA specificity, products of acylation and sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide, trypsin, acetone and polymyxin B. Both brain mitochondria and microsomes possess the acyltransferase.
