[Purine catabolism in rat brain (author's transl)]. 1981

R Franco, and E I Canela, and J Bozal

In soluble rat brain fraction, the specific activities of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, guanine deaminase, 5'Nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase, decrease in their mentioned order. A kinetic parameter comparison between these enzymes shows that 5'Nucleotidase with AMP has the lowest KM and the greatest Vmax values, while purine nucleoside phosphorylase has its lowest KM and its greatest Vmax values with guanosine and with inosine, respectively. The enzymes activity is not modified by the metabolic intermediates differently from their own reaction products which behave as competitive inhibitors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007288 Inosine A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
D009708 Nucleotidases A class of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of a nucleotide and water to a nucleoside and orthophosphate. EC 3.1.3.-.
D011683 Purine-Nucleoside Phosphorylase An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between a purine nucleoside and orthophosphate to form a free purine plus ribose-5-phosphate. EC 2.4.2.1. Inosine Phosphorylase,Nicotinamide Riboside Phosphorylase,Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylases,Nucleoside Phosphorylases, Purine,Phosphorylase, Inosine,Phosphorylase, Nicotinamide Riboside,Phosphorylase, Purine-Nucleoside,Phosphorylases, Purine Nucleoside,Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase,Riboside Phosphorylase, Nicotinamide
D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D006148 Guanine Deaminase An enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of guanine to form xanthine. EC 3.5.4.3. Guanase,Guanine Aminase,Guanine Aminohydrolase,Aminase, Guanine,Aminohydrolase, Guanine,Deaminase, Guanine
D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
