Ligandin in steroidogenically active cells of rat gonads

Identity of ligandin in rat testis and liver.

1. One of the main problems in the field of multifunctional proteins such as ligandin is the possibility that multiple forms and isoproteins may exist. Because liver ligandin [GSH (reduced glutathione) S-transferase B] consists of equal amounts of Ya (22 000 Da) and Yc (25 000 Da) subunits, and testis ligandin, prepared by the standard technique of anion-exchange and molecular-exclusion chromat...

Bilirubin and biliverdin binding to rat Y protein (ligandin).

The binding of bilirubin to poly(L-lysine) produces an optically active complex at pH 10.1. Circular dichroism spectra of these complexes are distinguishable from those generated by binding of bilirubin to the high affinity sites on albumin. Comparison of the circular dichroism spectra of bilirubin bound to the hepatic protein ligandin with those of bilirubin complexed with albumin or polylysin...

Urinary ligandin and glutathione-S-transferase in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in the rat.

1. Eight rats developed detectable glutathione-S-transferase activity in their urine after three daily injections of toxic doses of gentamicin. 2. Seven of the eight rats had immunodetectable ligandin in their urine at this time. 3. The level of enzyme activity correlated well with the degree of elevation of serum creatinine. 4. This confirms ligandinuria and urinary glutathione-S-transferase a...
