Phospholipids of Golgi subfractions determined with an enzymatic method.

Golgi apparatus subfractions are still under consideration both for morphological, biochemical and functional characterization. In this note, we determined glycerophospholipids and Golgi subfractions from rat liver by a method that requires the complete enzymatic hydrolysis of phospholipids with phospholipase C from CL perfringens. The main advantages of this procedure are that small amounts of protein membranes are required, the precision and the rapidity.
