Sphingomyelin and ceramide-phosphoethanolamine synthesis by microsomes and plasma membranes from rat liver and brain.

Pulse-chase experiments showed that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was the direct precursor for ceramide-phosphoethanolamine, a sphingomyelin analogue, in the same way as phosphatidylcholine was for sphingomyelin. Ceramide-phosphoethanolamine could be identified by incorporation of radioactivity from...
