Two forms of GABA transaminase in pig brain: purification and properties
Neurochem Res.
1980 Oct.
Abstract
Two forms of GABA transaminase which could be distinguished by ion-exchange chromatography have been separated and purified in pig brain. The two forms have different Km values for alpha-ketoglutarate and show different degrees of inhibition by various salts. Although the two forms are separable, they have identical antigenic properties, pH optima, and NH2 terminal amino acid composition, and they appear to be of the same molecular size. The biological significance or the relationship between multiple forms of GABA transaminase is not yet understood.
