Gamma-hydroxybutyrate / Butyric Acid
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate / butyric acid, ambiguously called GHB, presents some unique challenges for analysis due in part to its acidity, high polarity, and high solubility in aqueous solution. Its chemistry is complicated by its conversion into the corresponding lactone compound, where the GHB molecule condenses to form a cyclic ester with a five-membered ring. This compound, gamma-butyrolactone ...
متن کاملAcid hydrolases of trypanosomatid flagellates.
Homogenates from 5 species of Trypanosomatids were screened for the presence of a series of acid hydrolases. The insect flagellae, Crithidia sp., contains 5 enzymes reminiscent of plant parasitism, which were absent from or of very low specific activity in parasites of the genera, Trypanosoma and Leishmania. The latter mammalian parasites, on the other hand, exhibited higher acid proteinase and...
متن کاملExtracellular release of acid hydrolases from cultured retinal pigmented epithelium.
The intracellular and extracellular distribution of acid hydrolases in cultured retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) was studied. Incubation of cultured RPE in medium containing 20 mM mannose-6-phosphate resulted in the extracellular release of approximately 15% of the cell-associated activity of several acid hydrolases. This represents an approximate 120% increase over control levels after 24 hr...
متن کاملSubcellular fractionation of particles containing acid hydrolases from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis.
It has been shown that, under suitable conditions, the lysis of osmotically stabilized sphaeroplasts of yeast leads to the release of cell-vacuoles, which can then be purified on iso-osmotic gradients (Matile & Wiemken, 1967). On the basis of these fractionations these authors claim that the single large cell-vacuole is the only lysosome of the yeast cell. However, it has been shown that, by us...
متن کاملPlant fatty acid (ethanol) amide hydrolases.
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) plays a central role in modulating endogenous N-acylethanolamine (NAE) levels in vertebrates, and, in part, constitutes an "endocannabinoid" signaling pathway that regulates diverse physiological and behavioral processes in animals. Recently, an Arabidopsis FAAH homologue was identified which catalyzed the hydrolysis of NAEs in vitro suggesting a FAAH-mediated ...
