Purification of mouse liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase. 1983

S S Gill

Cytosolic epoxide hydrolase was purified from male Swiss mouse liver cytosol by passing it sequentially through CM-cellulose, DEAE-cellulose, phenylsepharose, DEAE-cellulose, and hydroxyapatite. The overall yield was ca. 10% with a 180-fold purification, and a final specific activity of 1.5 mumol/min/mg protein as monitored with trans-stilbene oxide. The purified epoxide hydrolase was apparently homogenous as determined by SDS-PAGE and it appears to exist as a dimer in its native form as evidenced by a monomeric molecular weight of 59,000 by SDS-PAGE and a reported native molecular weight of 130,000 by gel filtration.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers
D008297	Male		Males
D002845	Chromatography	Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts.	Chromatographies
D003600	Cytosol	Intracellular fluid from the cytoplasm after removal of ORGANELLES and other insoluble cytoplasmic components.	Cytosols
D003956	Dialysis	A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not.
