چکیده

The partial purification of the enzyme, aromatic aldehydeketone reductase (aromatic A-K reductase), from rabbit kidney cortex is described. Aromatic A-K reductase utilizes TPNH but not DPNH as a cosubstrate. Substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones are readily reduced to carbinols. Aromatic A-K reductase does not, however, catalyze the reverse reaction, the dehydrogenation of carbinols under the experimental conditions used. Aromatic A-K reductase utilizes the /3 hydrogen atom at C-4 of TPNH.

Purification and characterization of the multiple forms of aldehyde reductase in ox kidney.

Aldehyde reductase from ox kidney cytosol has been fractionated into four forms, two of which have been purified to apparent homogeneity. One of the minor forms is shown to be heterogenous on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The substrate specificities of the four forms using a variety of aldehydes and ketones are presented. The sensitivity of the various forms to inhibition by sodium valpro...

Partial Purification and Characterization of Tryptophan Hvdroxvlase from Rabbit Hindbrain

With the use of a rapid, sensitive fluorometric assay, tryptophan hydroxylase from rabbit hindbrain has been partially purified. The enzyme resembles phenylalanine and tyrosine hydroxylases in many respects. For example, the hydroxylation reaction shows an absolute requirement for a tetrahydropterin and is stimulated by reduced pyridine nucleotide, dihydropteridine reductase, and catalase. Fez+...

Aldo-Keto Reductases 1B in Adrenal Cortex Physiology

Aldose reductase (AKR1B) proteins are monomeric enzymes, belonging to the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily. They perform oxidoreduction of carbonyl groups from a wide variety of substrates, such as aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or ketones. Due to the involvement of human aldose reductases in pathologies, such as diabetic complications and cancer, AKR1B subgroup enzymatic properties have...
