Lactoperoxidase: identification and isolation from Harderian and lacrimal glands.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Investigation of bovine lacrimal and harderian glands revealed the presence of the enzyme lactoperoxidase, which was isolated and purified. A nonheme, iron-containing protein was identified at the same time. Both proteins are present in milk, mammary glands, and salivary glands. Their roles are discussed: The lactoperoxidase may be important in controlling bacterial flora.

Murine lacrimal, harderian and meibomian glands develop from the prospective conjunctival and eyelid epithelia and produce secretions that lubricate and protect the ocular surface. Sox9 expression localizes to the presumptive conjunctival epithelium as early as E11.5 and is detected in the lacrimal and harderian glands as they form. Conditional deletion showed that Sox9 is required for the deve...

متن کاملRelationship of sulfatase activity to radiosulfate uptake in guinea pig orbital tissues: Effect of TSH
The sulfating effect of TSH on guinea pig Harderian and ventral lacrimal glands teas investigated by differential centrifugation and by studies on the two glands' sulfatase activity. Radiosulfate incorporation in the Harderian as compared to that in the ventral lacrimal gland, was 1:10. The particulate elements of the two glands incorporated radiosulfate differently—58 per cent of the Harderian...
متن کاملInvestigation of the role of prolactin in the development and function of the lacrimal and harderian glands using genetically modified mice.
PURPOSE To determine whether prolactin receptor is essential for normal development and function of the lacrimal gland and whether hyperprolactinemia can alter lacrimal development. METHODS Lacrimal gland morphology and function were examined in two genetic mouse models of prolactin action: a prolactin receptor knockout model that is devoid of prolactin action and a transgenic model of hyperp...
متن کاملmRNA encoding a new lipolytic enzyme expressed in rabbit lacrimal glands.
PURPOSE In previous work, lacrimal glands of female mice were shown to express an mRNA encoding pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 (PLRP1), a member of the triacylglycerol lipase family. To investigate the hypothesis that lacrimal glands express mRNAs encoding other lipolytic enzymes, the present study was conducted to look for triacylglycerol lipase-related mRNAs in the lacrimal glands of rab...
