Histochemical demonstration of acid hydrolase activity in internal dentinal resorption

Histochemical demonstration of acid hydrolase activity in internal dentinal resorption

G Hasselgren et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1976 Sep.

Abstract

The enzymes acid phosphatase (E.C. 3.133) and beta-glucuronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.31) have been demonstrated in dentin-resorbing cells by means of histochemistry. Addition of specific enzyme inhibitros revealed that the acid phosphatase of these cells was sensitive to fluride, copper, and m?OLYBDATE BUT RESISTANT TO Tartrate. The same pattern of enzyme activity has previously been found in bone-resorbing cells.
