Gamma-glutamyltransferase from azo dye induced hepatoma and fetal rat liver. Similarities in their kinetic and immunological properties

Abstract

Some properties of gamma-glutamyltransferase ((gamma-glutamyl)-peptide: amino-acid gamma-glutamyltransferase EC 2.3.2.2) from azo dye induced hepatoma and fetal rat liver were studied using kinetic and immunological criteria. There was no significant difference between the hepatoma enzyme and fetal rat liver enzyme in some of their catalytic properties. Antisera against the purified hepatoma enzyme also reacted to the fetal rat liver enzyme in the inhibition test and the precipitin reaction. A structural similarity between the hepatoma enzyme and fetal rat liver enzyme was observed and the acquirement of fetal characteristics in hepatoma was discussed.
