Human Plasma Monoamine Oxidase I. PURIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amine oxidases that occur in the plasma of mammals have been intensively studied in recent years (l-8). The ability of human plasma and serum to convert benzylamine to benzaldehyde has recently been demonstrated (9). Evidence has been presented to show that this enzymatic activity is different from other human plasma enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of amines (i.e. ceruloplasmin and diamine oxidase) (9, 10). The present paper reports the purification of this monoamine oxidase activity from human plasma. It also defines the substrate specificity of the purified enzyme, the stoichiometry of the reaction it catalyzes, and inhibitors of the reaction.1

Much of the book is devoted ...
متن کاملGalactose oxidase of Polyporus circinatus: a copper enzyme.
In 1959, Cooper et al. (1) described the isolation of an enzyme from Polyporus circinatus Fr. which catalyzed the oxidation of galactose by molecular oxygen. MTe have previously described a procedure for the purification of such an enzyme from culture filtrat,es and have shown the reaction product to be D-g&CtOhexodialdose, oxidation occurring at the C-6 rather than the C-l position (2). The pr...

Objective(s): Echis carinatus is one of the venomous snakes in Iran. The venom of Iranian Echis carinatus is a rich source of protein with various factors affecting the plasma protein and blood coagulation factor. Some of these proteins exhibit types of enzymatic activities. However, other items are proteins with no enzymatic activity. Materials and Methods: In order to study the mechanism ...
متن کاملIdentification, characterization and purification of porcine Quiescin Q6-Sulfydryl Oxidase 2 protein
BACKGROUND Post-spermiogenesis membrane surface modifications rely on molecules present in the reproductive tracts. Two isoforms (isoform 1 and 2) from Quiescin Q6-Sulfydryl Oxidase protein family have been identified in the male reproductive tract of rodent species. However, unlike isoform 1, scarce information is available for isoform 2, likely due to its lower expression level and lack of pr...
