Abstract excerpt
We have recently reported the isolation of three plasmalogen-deficient mutants in a murine, macrophage-like cell line, RAW 264.7 (Zoeller et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 8299-8306). One of these mutant strains, RAW.12, is deficient in delta 1'-desaturase (plasmanylethanolamine desaturase, EC 1.14.99.19), the activity responsible for introducing the vinyl-ether double bond found in plasmalogens. We have examined...
