Intraspecies and interspecies variations in the substrate specificity of D-amino acid oxidase. 1982

R Konno, and S Uchiyama, and Y Yasumura

1. Substrate specificity of D-amino acid oxidase was examined in the kidney homogenates of the mouse and the six species of fishes. 2. The enzyme of the mouse did not show a significant intraspecies variation in the substrate specificity. The sex and age of the mouse did not affect the substrate specificity of the enzyme. 3. The degree of similarity in the substrate specificity of the enzymes was quantified as the variation index. The values of the variation index among the enzymes of the fishes paralleled their taxonomic relatedness.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014337	Trout	Various fish of the family SALMONIDAE, usually smaller than salmon. They are mostly restricted to cool clear freshwater. Some are anadromous. They are highly regarded for their handsome colors, rich well-flavored flesh, and gameness as an angling fish. The genera Salvelinus, Salmo, and ONCORHYNCHUS have been introduced virtually throughout the world.	Chars,Salvelinus,Char
