A study of highly purified mucolipidosis III urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase B.
Highly purified N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase B from normal urine and urine of a patient with mucolipidosis III was used to determine whether it has undergone any of the alterations associated with this genetic defect. Examination by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that both the enzyme preparations contained protein components with apparent Mr values of 55 000...
متن کاملRole of N-acetyl-β-d-hexosaminidase in cholesteatoma tissue
Cholesteatoma is a destructive disease characterized by the progressive expansion of keratinizing squamous epithelium in the middle ear and mastoid, and chronic inflammatory reaction of the subepithelial connective tissue. N-Acetyl-β-d-hexosaminidase (HEX) catalyzes the release of terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-d-hexosamine residues acting on glucosides and galactosides in glycoproteins, GM2-ga...
متن کاملA Sperm–Plasma β-N-Acetyl-D-Hexosaminidase Interacting with a Chitinolytic β-N-Acetyl-D-Hexosaminidase in Insect Molting Fluid
Insects require molting fluids to shed the old cuticle during molting. β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase, known as Hex1, together with various chitinases, is responsible for degrading the chitin component of the old cuticle. This study showed that another β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase, termed OfHex3, interacted with Hex1 and functioned in the molting fluid, although the homolog of OfHex3 was known as a...
متن کاملN-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase in chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND The concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase (HEX) in palatine tonsils with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy give insight in tonsillar tissue remodeling and constitute a potential marker for diagnosis and treatment of chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. AIM Determining the concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-β-hexosaminida...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES OF RAT GASTROCNEMIUS MUSCLE N-ACETYL-I3-DGLUCOSAMINIDASE A AND B.
N-acetyl-B-D-Glucosaminidase was purified by affinity and ionexchange chromatography. Two major, A and B, and three minor intermediate forms were isolated and characterized. NAG-A and NAG-B were purified 440 and 1200 fold with final yields of 16 and 23 percent respectively. Each activity was represented by a single protein band. After 70 min preincubation at 55°C a loss of70% activity of N...
