The isolation of adrenal-like steroids from the human placenta.
In previous studies on the isolation of progesterone from placenta, the presence of steroids altered by the NaOH procedure was suspected (1). This was apparently confirmed in the isolation of progesterone from pooled plasma of pregnant women by the presence of progestationally active material other than progesterone when measured by the Hooker-Forbes bioassay (2). A new analysis of placenta was...
متن کاملMetabolism of synthetic steroids by the human placenta.
Pregnant women with asthma are frequently exposed to synthetic glucocorticoids and glucocorticoids are known to reduce fetal growth. The fetus is normally protected from the harmful effects of maternally derived glucocorticoids by the placental enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2). Whether 11beta-HSD2 inactivates the synthetic glucocorticoids used for asthma treatment...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a folate receptor from human placenta.
While folate binding proteins have been described in serum and a variety of tissues, the function of these proteins is unknown. A particulate folate binding protein from human placenta has been isolated and characterized following solubilization with Triton X-100. The protein was purified 61,000-fold using affinity chromatography on pteroylglutamic acid-Sepharose as the major purification step....
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of dipeptidyl peptidase IV from human placenta.
Human placenta is surprisingly rich in post-proline dipeptidyl peptidase activity. Among various cell fractions, microsomes have the highest specific activity. A homogeneous enzyme preparation is obtained in a six-step purification procedure. The final preparation appears homogeneous upon dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, but analytical isoelectric focussing reveals various active bands with iso...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of methionine synthetase from human placenta.
The cobalamin-dependent enzyme, methionine synthetase, has been purified approximately 1000-fold to apparent homogeneity from human placenta with a 19% recovery. The final two steps of the purification utilized two different affinity columns. The first was a N5-methyltetrahydrofolate-cystamine-agarose column, and the second was a S-adenosylhomocysteine-agarose column. The enzyme was eluted from...
