The lipid composition of the electric organ of the ray, Torpedo marmorata, with specific reference to sulfatides and Na+-K+-ATPase.

The lipids from the electric organ of the ray, Torpedo marmorata, have been isolated and characterized. The major lipids were cholesterol, choline phospholipids, ethanolamine phospholipids, and sphingomyelins. The major fatty acids of ethanolamine phospholipids were 18:1, 18:0, 22:6, and 20:4. More...
