Various fractions obtained from normal human liver homogenates by gel
chromatography and selective adsorption and elution from insolubilized concanavalin A
were compared as to their β-galactosidase and β-glucosidase activities. The high-molecularweight
acidic β-galactosidase form was converted into the smaller major form by sodium
dodecyl sulfate treatment.
Electrophoresis and electrofocusing on acrylamide slabs revealed, in addition to the
two major isoenzyme forms (acid and neutral), another five minor bands with enzymatic
activity.
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.
