The envelope from spinach chloroplasts contains an alkaline phosphatidic acid phosphatase which was found to be located on the inner envelope membrane. The diacylglycerol formed by this enzyme from endogenous phosphatidic acid is then used as a substrate for galactolipid synthesis on the inner envelope membrane.
