Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica phospholipase A and lysophospholipase activities from a vesicular subcellular fraction (P30) were analyzed. The produc ts, obtained using specific substrates labeled with C-14 Or H-3, indic ated the presence of phospholipase A(1) and A(2) as well as lysophosph olipase L(1) activities. The enzymes detected could participate in pho spholipid metabolism and the alkaline phospholipase A(2) may contribut e to E. histolytica cytopathogenicity.
