Bovine lens aldehyde dehydrogenase. Kinetics and mechanism.

Bovine lens cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics with acetaldehyde, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, propionaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, phenylacetylaldehyde and succinic semialdehyde as substrates. The enzyme was also active with malondialdehyde, and exhibited an esterase activity. Steady-state kinetic analyses show that the enzyme ...

Pig muscle aldehyde reductase. Identity of pig muscle aldehyde reductase with pig lens aldose reductase and with the low Km aldehyde reductase of pig brain and pig kidney.

A monomeric (Mr = 43,000) NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase with a broad substrate specificity for aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and aldo sugars has been purified from the skeletal muscle of female and castrated pigs. The properties of this enzyme are consistent with those of aldose reductase (EC 1.1.1.21), and the enzyme is immunologically identical with aldose reductase from pig lens. However...

Purification and Properties of an NADPH-Aldose Reductase (Aldehyde Reductase) from Euonymus japonica Leaves.

The enzyme aldose (aldehyde) reductase was partially purified (142-fold) and characterized from Euonymus japonica leaves. The reductase, a dimer, had an average molecular weight of 67,000 as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme was NADPH specific and reduced a broad range of substrates including aldoses, aliphatic aldehydes, and aromatic aldehydes. Maximum activity was obs...

Aldose reductase-catalyzed reduction of aldehyde phospholipids.

Oxidation of unsaturated phospholipids results in the generation of aldehyde side chains that remain esterified to the phospholipid backbone. Such "core" aldehydes elicit immune responses and promote inflammation. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which phospholipid aldehydes are metabolized or detoxified are not well understood. In the studies reported here, we examined whether aldose red...

Activators and inhibitors of lens aldose reductase.

Aldose reductase in a highly purified state is unstable. It requires the presence of thiol groups to maintain it in an active form. The enzyme apparently exists in 3 forms, only one of which is active. Tetramethylene glutaric acid (TMG) is an effective aldose reductase inhibitor. However, a relatively high level of TMG is needed to depress dulcitol synthesis in the lens incubated in a galactose...
