Biochemistry of the α -Glyceryl Ethers. I. Distribution in Mammalian Tissues and in Starfish. ∗

Abstract

Summary

1. A number of animal lipids have been separated into neutral and phospholipids, and each of these fractions examined, after hydrolysis, for glyceryl ethers. 2. A paper chromatographic method of separating the various α-glyceryl ethers from one another is described. 3. In mammals the richest site of bound glyceryl ethers is in the marrow.
