The intestinal microvillar enzyme complex sucrase-isomaltase has been studied in cystic fibrosis and control ileum. A number of biochemical parameters of the enzyme in ileum homogenates have been determined. Both solubilized as well as membrane-bound sucrase-isomaltase were analyzed with respect to their reaction with monoclonal antibodies against human sucrase-isomaltase. Finally the subcellular localization of sucrase-isomaltase was verified by immunoelectronmicroscopy or via the analysis of purified brush-border membrane preparations. At all levels no significant differences could be detected between sucrase-isomaltase of cystic fibrosis and control ileum. It is concluded that an abnormal subcellular localization and/or abnormal enzymatic activity of sucrase-isomaltase in cystic fibrosis intestine cannot explain the markedly decreased disaccharidase activities in amniotic fluids from pregnancies resulting in a child affected with cystic fibrosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008871 Microvilli Minute projections of cell membranes which greatly increase the surface area of the cell. Brush Border,Striated Border,Border, Brush,Border, Striated,Borders, Brush,Borders, Striated,Brush Borders,Microvillus,Striated Borders
D009097 Multienzyme Complexes Systems of enzymes which function sequentially by catalyzing consecutive reactions linked by common metabolic intermediates. They may involve simply a transfer of water molecules or hydrogen atoms and may be associated with large supramolecular structures such as MITOCHONDRIA or RIBOSOMES. Complexes, Multienzyme
D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.

D006056 Golgi Apparatus A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane.

D000911 Antibodies, Monoclonal Antibodies produced by a single clone of cells. Monoclonal Antibodies,Monoclonal Antibody,Antibody, Monoclonal
D000939 Epitopes Sites on an antigen that interact with specific antibodies. Antigenic Determinant,Antigenic Determinants,Antigenic Specificity,Epitope,Determinant, Antigenic,Determinants, Antigenic,Specificity, Antigenic
D013394 Sucrase-Isomaltase Complex An enzyme complex found in the brush border membranes of the small intestine. It is believed to be an enzyme complex with different catalytic sites. Its absence is manifested by an inherited disease called sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. Sucrase Isomaltase Complex,Complex, Sucrase Isomaltase,Complex, Sucrase-Isomaltase,Isomaltase Complex, Sucrase
