1 Phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine with arachidonate at the sn-2 position of glycerol was cleaved efficiently by phospholipase A2 activity in homogenates as well as in the cytoplasmic fraction of human platelets, leading to the selective liberation of free arachidonate, whereas phospholipids with linoleate were hardly hydrolyzed under the same conditions.
