Resolution of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and thromboxane synthase of human platelets. 1977

S Hammarström, and P Falardeau

Thromboxane synthase was localized to the microsomes of human platelets. The enzyme was insensitive to sulfhydryl reagents and thiols but was inhibited by 12L-hydroperoxy-5, 8, 10, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid (concentration for 50% inhibition = 0.1 mM). Treatment of microsomes with Triton X-100 solubilized the enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to thromboxane B2. The solubilized material was resolved by DEAE-cellulose chromatography into two components, one converting arachidonic acid to prostaglandins G2 and H2 and the other converting prostaglandin H2 to thromboxane B2.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
