Electrophoretic variants of alanine aminopeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase in urine

K Jung and UW Wischke

The three brush-border enzymes--alanine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2)--are present in the urine of healthy persons in two variants, a particulate form and a soluble one. They can be separated by electrophoresis in agarose gel and by ultracentrifugation. The particulate forms exhibit similar electrophoretic mobility, but the soluble forms of these brush-border enzymes differ in their electrophoretic mobilities. The enzyme components of the particulate activity can be mobilized by Triton X-100 and trypsin. The electrophoretic mobility of the soluble forms of alanine aminopeptidase and gamma-glutamyltransferase is slowed by neuraminidase treatment. Both forms of gamma-glutamyltransferase are influenced in their electrophoretic mobility by treatment with n-butanol/diisopropyl ether, showing their lipid dependence. These findings enhance our knowledge of the biochemical nature of brush-border enzymes in urine.
