Immunochemical relationship between alpha-amylases of rat liver, serum, pancreas and parotid gland.

چکیده
1. Rabbit antisera to purified rat parotid alpha-amylase were prepared. 2. The relationships between rat parotid-gland, pancreatic, serum and liver amylase were investigated by using the antisera in immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis and immunoinhibition experiments. 3. Serum and liver amylase were identical, and very similar to parotid-gland amylase; pancreatic amylase was, however, quite distinct, and showed only some of the determinants present on parotid-gland amylase. 4. The data strengthen the suggestion that the liver is the main source of serum amylase.

Effects of diabetes and insulin on alpha-amylase messenger RNA levels in rat parotid glands.
Previous studies have shown that amylase levels are reduced significantly in the pancreas and parotid gland of diabetic rats and that insulin reverses this effect and increases the secretory protein levels. In the pancreas, these changes in amylase protein levels are accompanied by parallel changes in amylase mRNA levels. In the present study, the effects of diabetes and subsequent insulin trea...

α-Amylase (1, 4-ƒ¿-D-Glucan glucanohydrolase E.C. 3. 2. 1. 1.) distributes widely in micro organisms, animals and plants. In animals, the characterization of the enzyme was reported using the rat1), mouse2), hamster3), dog4), rabbit5), cat6), kangaroo7), silkworm8) and human9-10). Our previous reports indicated that the serum amylase was released from the parotid gland by the administration of ...
متن کاملLocalization of catalytic and regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in mitochondria from various rat tissues.
Observation and quantification of the catalytic subunit C of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases by immuno-gold electron microscopy suggested a high concentration of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in mitochondria from liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle, pancreas, parotid gland and brain cells. The position of gold particles pointed to a localization in the inner membrane/matrix spa...
متن کاملSalivary alpha-amylase and lysozyme levels: a non-invasive technique for measuring parotid vs submandibular/sublingual gland activity.
Cannulation procedures have shown that alpha-amylase is produced primarily by the parotid gland, whereas lysozyme is produced mainly by the submandibular and sublingual glands. In this study, the ratio of lysozyme to alpha-amylase was determined in whole human saliva following challenge with various gustatory and mechanical stimuli. Comparison of this ratio with the immediately preceding "basel...
