Properties of WS activities of preen gland membranes of chicken, goose and barn owl. Relative WS activities of preen gland membranes with 12:0-OH and different acyl-CoA thioesters (a) or 16:0-CoA and different alcohols (b). 100% corresponds to the turnover of 12:0-OH with 16:0-CoA. Standard assays were used apart of higher protein amounts (50 μg) and incubation times (2 h).
