A low molecular weight product (Mr 7000) synthetized on rat liver mitoribosomes is selectively extracted by chloroform/methanol (2/1). This product is characterized by an unusual hydrophobicity as reflected by its chromatographic behaviour, its high content in hydrophobic amino acids and its strong capacity to bind lipids. Bound lipids contain a high percentage of linoleic acid.
