A protein which catalyzes the exchange of phosphatidylcholine between membranes has been purified from heart tissue homogenates up to 300-fold by acidic pH precipitation, (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. Binding of the protein to phosphatidylcholine liposomes as measured by Sepharose chromatography was nondetectable. However, isoelectric focusing experiments showed that individual molecules of phosphatidylcholine were transferred from liposomes to the soluble, partially purified protein. Exchange of phospholipid between liposomes and mitochondria was not affected by the presence of moderate amounts of cholesterol in liposomes. A search for competitive inhibitors among moieties similar to phosphatidylcholine failed to show strong binding sites in the hydrophilic part of the substrate. High concentrations of Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ impaired the exchange activity.
