The biosynthesis of sphingomyelin and the role of phosphatidylcholine as its precursor in baby hamster kidney-21F cells

The last step in sphingomyelin's de novo biosyn-thetic pathway was investigated in Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK-21F) cells in tissue culture. Three types of pulse-chase experiments were done to try to identify the precursor for sphingomyelin's phosphocholine moiety. First, [Me- ³H]-choline was...
