Nm. Gulaya et al., THE EFFECT OF LONG-CHAIN N-ACYLETHANOLAMINES ON SOME MEMBRANE-ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONS OF NEUROBLASTOMA C1300-N18 CELLS, Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1152(2), 1993, pp. 280-288
As reported earlier (Gulaya, N.M., Vaskovsky, V.E., Vysotsky, M.V., Vo
lkov, G.L., Govseeva, N.N. and Artemenko, I.P. (1988) Ukr. Biochim. J.
60, 58-63), N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPE) and products of th
eir catabolism, N-acylethanolamines (NAE), are present in the lipids o
f neuroblastoma C1300 N18 undifferentiated cells. The present paper de
scribes the distribution of NAE added to culture medium of differentia
ted cells and its effect on the fast sodium channels and some other me
mbrane characteristics. It is shown that NAE inhibits the destroying a
ction of veratridine on membranes.
