Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1987 Jul 31;146(2):638-44. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(87)90576-6.

Abstract

A pool of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine containing epoxyeicosatrienoic acids esterified to the sn-2 position of the glycerol moiety has been identified in rat liver. The mole fraction of epoxide containing phosphatidylinositol is 7-8 times that of phosphatidylethanolamine.
