Marphysa sanguinea

Two galactosylceramides containing a phosphocholine group were identified in the species Marphysa sanguinea (Eunicidae) (Noda et al., 1992). Two similar glycerophos-pholipids, with arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid moieties, were characterized later in the same species (Tanaka et al., 1995).
