Abstract:
1. Long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase in submandibular gland microsomes was characterized and compared to that in liver ones. 2. In rat submandibular gland, the microsomal long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase showed a higher relative activity for polyunsaturated fatty acyl-CoAs than that of liver microsomes. 3. It was suggested that the hydrolase in rat submandibular gland microsomes may play a role in modulation in the acyl-CoA pool size.
