Alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes nomenclature.
We read with a great pleasure the article ‘Rare ADH variant constellations are specific for alcohol dependence’ by Zuo et al. (2012). We want to direct the speciality about the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzyme nomenclature to the readers of Alcohol and Alcoholism. Namely, the authors use an old isoenzyme nomenclature what can cause some confusion to not enough familiar readers. Electrophor...
متن کاملInterconversion of Isoenzymes of Drosophila Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase and its subunits were examined for their physical characteristics. The intact enzyme was shown to have a molecular weight of approximately 60,000. The smallest apparent subunit was obtained by dissociating the enzyme with sodium dodecylsulfate and the molecular weight obtained was 7,500. Evidence for three partially dissociated forms was obtained; the subunits o...
متن کاملRecommended nomenclature for the vertebrate alcohol dehydrogenase gene family.
The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene family encodes enzymes that metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. Studies on 19 vertebrate animals have identified ADH orthologs across several species, and this has now led to questions of how best to name ADH proteins and genes. Seven distinct classes...
متن کاملActivity of alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes and aldehyde dehydrogenase in sera of patients with hepatitis C
Introduction The changes of enzyme activity in the hepatocytes in the course of different liver diseases are reflected by increase of the corresponding enzyme activity in the plasma. For example, the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) correlate with the severity of the condition during cirrhosis. In this study we measured the activity of ADH isoenzymes a...

system of Jervis [7] is used here.) Previous electrophoretic examination of the LDH of most other plants was carried out with extracts from leaves [1,2j. Such a study of potato leaves would not have revealed the existence of isoenzymic forms in this species. We have, therefore, examined extracts from various regions of a number of plants: roots, stem-base, upper stems, leaves and any special ti...
