The light and heavy plasma membranes (PM) isolated from lactating bovine mammary glands contained 38〜43% lipid of which 41〜44% was phospholipid and 47〜52% neutral lipid. The contents of phospholipid and neutral lipid were somewhat higher in the light PM than in the heavy PM. Cholesterol was contained 55〜60% of neutral lipid and the ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid was 0.64 to 0.69. Phospholipid was composed of sphingomyelin (Sph) 29〜38%, phosphatidylcholine (PC) 27〜35%, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 16〜20%, phosphatidylserine 10%, and phosphatidylinositol 6〜7%. The content of Sph was higher in the heavy PM than in the light PM, while the values of PC and PE were opposite. The major fatty acids of lipid components were palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid and those of Sph were palmitic acid, stearic acid, C23:0 and 24:0. The fatty acid composition of individual lipid classes differed significantly from each other but were similar between the light and heavy PMs. Tetracosapentaenoic acid (C24:5) was the major fatty acid of the diacylglycerol fraction. The results indicated that the lipid composition, especially phospholipid components, of bovine mammary gland PMs was different from those of milk fat globule membranes which is derived from the PM of mammary secretory cells.
