Human liver L-leucine aminopeptidase: evidence for two forms compared to pig liver enzyme. 1983

N Ledeme, and O Vincent-Fiquet, and G Hennon, and R Plaquet

Two forms of L-leucine aminopeptidase (E.C. 3.4.11.1) having a specific activity toward L-leucine amide and L-leucylpeptides substrates but not toward chromogenic substrates: L-leucyl paranitroanilide or L-leucyl beta naphthylamide have been evidenced from human liver. Human liver enzymes have been distinguished from pig liver enzyme by DEAE Sephacel chromatography and analytical electrophoresis on cellulose acetate strips. We compared enzymic properties of L-leucine aminopeptidases from human liver with pig liver enzyme: they were activated by Mg2+ and Mn2+ and inhibited by Zn2+ and Co2+, EDTA and citric acid. The optimum pH's were 10. Both human liver L-leucine aminopeptidases were less sensitive to heat elevation than pig liver enzyme.

D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007931 Leucyl Aminopeptidase A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. The activity of this enzyme is commonly assayed using a leucine arylamide chromogenic substrate such as leucyl beta-naphthylamide.
