Several properties of the leukotriene C4- and leukotriene D4-metabolizing enzymes within human plasma were studied after fractionation of the plasma proteins using ammonium sulfate precipitation. Leukotriene D4-metabolizing enzymes were widely distributed among the fractions obtained. They showed different pH optima (pH 6.5, pH 7.0 and pH greater than or equal to 8.5) and revealed a different degree of thermal stability. The results indicate the presence of more than one enzyme in plasma which interacts with leukotriene D4. EDTA and L-cysteine inhibited the metabolism of leukotriene D4. Two leukotriene C4-metabolizing activities (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidases) differing in their molecular weights were detected after gel filtration. Their molecular weights were estimated to be Mr greater than or equal to 150 000 and Mr between 55 000 and 100 000.
