Description Total phospholipids were extracted from the heart, hepatopancreas, and hemolymph of
the Indian horseshoe crab Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda by the conventional method. Characteristic
group reaction and 2-dimensional thin-layer chromatography on silica gel were used for identification
of different phospholipids. The phospholipid profile obtained from hemolymph and 2 major organs are
comparable and show phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine to be the major
phospholipids. A phospholipid has been consistently detected migrating immediately below the PC in
the thin-layer chromatogram of lipids extracted from the hepatopancreas. When mixed methyl esters
of this slower moving PC are resolved on a silica gel plate ran in hexane ether:acetic acid 80:20:1, with
appropriate controls, an additional spot is seen just below the normal methyl ester, indicating a difference
between the fatty acid compositions of 2 PC (e.g., regular and slower). The slower mixed methyl
esters were found to comprise mainly the 4 saturated fatty acids: lauric, myristic, palmitic, and stearic.
The slow moving PC seems to consist mainly of molecular species with the above-mentioned saturated
fatty acids at both Sn 1 and Sn 2 positions.
