Different behaviors among lysosomal enzymes in the cerebellum of jaundiced Gunn rats with cerebellar hypoplasia. 1987

H Sato, and H Keino, and S Aono, and R Semba, and S Kashiwamata

Activities of six lysosomal enzymes in the cerebellum of jaundiced homozygous (jj) Gunn rats were examined from 5 to 20 days of life and compared with those in heterozygotes (j+). Significantly higher enzyme activities were first detected at 8 days. The jj/j+ activity ratios of all enzymes peaked at 15 days. The ratios of beta-glycerophosphatase, beta-mannosidase, and acid lipase were only 1.3-1.7, whereas those of arylsulfatase and cathepsin were 2.0 and 3.1, respectively. The most striking increase in activity was observed with beta-glucuronidase, the ratio of which was 8.4. These results indicate a selective increase in activities of certain lysosomal enzymes in the hypoplastic cerebellum of jj rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007565 Jaundice A clinical manifestation of HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA, characterized by the yellowish staining of the SKIN; MUCOUS MEMBRANE; and SCLERA. Clinical jaundice usually is a sign of LIVER dysfunction. Icterus,Jaundice, Hemolytic,Hemolytic Jaundice,Hemolytic Jaundices,Jaundices, Hemolytic
D008049 Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D008361 Mannosidases Glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of alpha or beta linked MANNOSE. Mannosidase

D002403 Cathepsins A group of lysosomal proteinases or endopeptidases found in aqueous extracts of a variety of animal tissues. They function optimally within an acidic pH range. The cathepsins occur as a variety of enzyme subtypes including SERINE PROTEASES; ASPARTIC PROTEINASES; and CYSTEINE PROTEASES. Cathepsin
