1 Guinea pig intestinal phospholipase B is a calcium-independent phospholipase hydrolyzing sequentially the acyl ester bonds at sn-2 and sn-1 positions of glycerophospholipids, promoting the formation of sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine from phosphatidylcholine. Glycerylphosphorylcholine phospholipase B1, membrane-associated Cavia porcellus
2 Since sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine present at high concentrations in seminal plasma mainly stems from epididymis, this suggests a possible role of phospholipase B in male reproduction. Glycerylphosphorylcholine phospholipase B1, membrane-associated Cavia porcellus
