Biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine by human lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1.

Journal of lipid research - 1 Sept 2009

Harayama Takeshi, Shindou Hideo, Shimizu Takao

Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of phospholipids and proteins lining the alveolar walls of the lung. It reduces surface tension in the alveoli, and is critical for normal respiration. Pulmonary surfactant phospholipids consist mainly of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Although the phospholipid composition of pulmonary surfactant is well known, the enzyme(s) involved in its biosynthesis...
