Abstract
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.
