Phospholipases

  • Chapter
Biochemistry of Arachidonic Acid Metabolism

Part of the book series: Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Cancer ((PLAC,volume 1))

Abstract

The enzymes which degrade phospholipids are ubiquitous in nature and have been described in almost every cell type examined. These phospholipases have a major role in the catabolism of dietary lipids for energy sources and also are important in the metabolism of membrane structural phospholipids. This latter function contributes to the control of each cell type’s unique phospholipid composition and undoubtedly has a major role in regulating cell function (1).
