[Guinea pig liver cytosol has an L-threonine deaminase activity distinct from L-serine deaminase].
Using sodium sulfate precipitation, "Sephadex G200" gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a L-threonine desaminase was demonstrated in the Guinea-Pig liver cytosol. This enzyme was separated from the guinea pig liver L-serine desaminase possessing an auxiliary activity on L-threonine substrate described by us in a previous work. The optimals for pH (7,1) and temperature (+ 55 degrees C) and the apparent molecular weight (134,000 + 20,000) were established.
