INVESTIGATIONS OF LIPID COMPONENTS OF NEURONE-ENRICHED MEMBRANES OF THE JELLYFISH CYANEA CAPILLATA

J. A. Schetz and PAV. Anderson

The lipid components of nerve-rich tissues from the jellyfish Cyanea capillata were purified by multiple differential extractions of a single tissue pellet and detected with various chemical spray reagents following separation by thin-layer chromatography. The results indicate that gangliosides are completely absent from Cyanea capillata neurones, that the major sterol is not cholesterol, and that the five major phosphorus-containing lipids do not co-migrate with conventional phospholipid standards. The atypical lipid environment of Cyanea capillata neurones may account for some of their unusual physiological and pharmacological properties.
