Alanine aminopeptidase (particle-bound aminopeptidase, EC 3.4.11.2)
isolated in a highly purified state from human liver, kidney, and pancreas were investigated
with regard to their different electrophoretic mobilities. While the molecular weights are
identical, different isoelectric points were found. The results of carbohydrate analysis
point to N-acetylneuraminic acid as the main factor that causes the differences in electrophoretic
behaviour of the alanine aminopeptidases investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
