Studies of pig kidney diamine oxidase. 1976

B Swedin, and I Mossle, and H Jörnvall

Preparations of pig kidney histaminase were analyzed for total compositions, N-terminal residues, patterns of tryptic peptides and for subunits under dissociating conditions. The crystalline enzyme is pure by several criteria but not completely homogeneous. It is rich in acidic or amidated residues and has a low content of cysteine/halfcystine. Preparation analyzed consistently contained a few percent of carbohydrate. Subunits are concluded to be identical or highly similar with a molecular weight of about 90 000, which is consistent with other analyses.

D006631	Amine Oxidase (Copper-Containing)	A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by semicarbazide.

D000595	Amino Acid Sequence	The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D000596	Amino Acids	Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins.	Amino Acid,Acid, Amino,Acids, Amino
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.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).	Phacochoerus,Pigs,Suidae,Warthogs,Wart Hogs,Hog, Wart,Hogs, Wart,Wart Hog
