The interaction between alpha-2-macroglobulin and cationic aspartate aminotransferase

T R Boyde. Biochem J. 1969 Jan.

Abstract

On starch-gel or polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of human serum, a supernumerary zone of aspartate aminotransferase activity may be demonstrated, migrating with the slow alpha(2) protein zone. This appearance is due only to cationic aspartate aminotransferase, bound by alpha(2)-macroglobulin. The binding is strongly potentiated by dilute borate buffers.
