متن کاملThe regulatory roles of liver and kidney in cobalamin (vitamin BIZ) metabolism in the rat: the uptake and intracellular binding of cobalamin and the activity of the cobalamin-dependent enzymes in response to varying cobalamin supply
1. To examine possible regulatory roles of liver and kidney in cobalamin metabolism, specific activities of the two cobalamin-dependent enzymes, uptake in vivo of cyano [57Co]cobalamin ([57Co]CNCbl) and the binding of [57Co]Cbl to intracellular proteins were measured in normal, cobalamin-loaded and cobalamin-deficient rats. Cobalamin deficiency and cobalamin loading produced greater changes in ...
متن کاملCobalamin-dependent methionine synthase.
Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from N5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine, producing tetrahydrofolate and methionine. Insufficient availability of cobalamin, or inhibition of methionine synthase by exposure to nitrous oxide, leads to diminished activity of this enzyme. In humans, severe inhibition of methionine synthase results in the develo...
متن کاملCobalamin and folate binding proteins in human tumour tissue.
The serum of an 84 year old man with disseminated carcinoma was found to contain extremely high concentrations of cobalamin and of a cobalamin binding protein with trans-cobalamin I characteristics. Tumour tissue samples obtained at necropsy contained considerably higher concentrations of cobalamin binding protein (R-binder) than normal tissues. Tumour tissues also contained increased concentra...
متن کاملHyperhomocysteinemia and functional cobalamin deficiency due to granulocytosis-induced alterations in the cobalamin-binding protein.
Serum cobalamin and homocysteine levels were studied in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and in stem cell donors treated with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Cytoreductive treatment in patients with CML resulted in a decrease of cobalamin and homocysteine levels. In stem cell donors cobalamin and homocysteine levels increased after G-CSF administration. The increa...
