The Diagnostic Value of Serum Leucine Aminopeptidase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serum leucine aminopeptidase determination was found to be a useful screening procedure for hepatobiliary disease in jaundiced and unjaundiced patients. Values under 1,000 units are of no help in the differential diagnosis of jaundice but values above 1,000 units are highly indicative of biliary obstruction. The differentiation of intra- from extrahepatic obstruction as well as of malignant from benign jaundice cannot generally be established by this single test.

Expression, Tissue Localization and Serodiagnostic Potential of Echinococcus granulosus Leucine Aminopeptidase.
Echinococcus granulosus is the causative agent of cystic echinococcosis (CE), a widespread parasitic zoonosis. Leucine aminopeptidases (LAPs) of the M17 peptidase family have important functions in regulating the balance of catabolism and anabolism, cell maintenance, growth and defense. In this study, we presented a bioinformatic characterization and experimentally determined the tissue distrib...

متن کاملLocalization of Leucine Aminopeptidase Isoenzymes.
A simple, sensitive staining procedure for the localization of leucine aminopeptidase isoenzymes after electrophoretic separation on cellulose acetate membranes is described. Separation of leucine aminopeptidase isoenzymes, using cellulose acetate membranes, does not appear to be a rewarding diagnostic procedure in the investigation of hepatobiliary or pancreatic disorders.
متن کاملA family with high serum leucine aminopeptidase activity derived from a novel variant CD13.
We investigated a family in which some individuals showed extremely high serum leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) (EC 3.4.11.2) activity, mainly derived from a variant CD13. The isoelectric points of the variant and normal CD13 were 3.3 and 4.1, respectively, and both points converged at 4.4 after treatment with neuraminidase, indicating that more sialic acids are bound to the variant CD13 than norma...

Background and Objective: Aminopeptidases remove the amino acids from the N-terminal of proteins and peptides. Aminopeptidase N (CD13) and leucine aminopeptidase are involved in processing and presentation of pathogens to immune cells. Also, enzyme activity in some viral infection and tumors are high. In this study, the activity of CD13 in serum with high level of brucella antibody wa...
