gamma-Glutamyl cyclotransferase activity is assayed in tissues by a colorimetric method using gamma-glutamyl alanine as a substrate coupled with alanine dehydrogenase from B. sphericus, to measure the formation of NADH. In order to avoid interference by the reaction catalyzed by gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, anthglutin, a specific inhibitor of the transpeptidase was included in the reaction mixture. The Km value of rat kidney gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase with respect to gamma-glutamyl alanine appeared to be the same when determined by either the colorimetric or the radiometric method. This assay presents a reliable alternative to the use of radiolabeled substrate and is used for the assay of gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase in a variety of physiological and experimental samples.
采用比色法,以γ-谷氨酰丙氨酸为底物,与球形芽孢杆菌的丙氨酸脱氢酶偶联,通过测定NADH的生成量来检测组织中的γ-谷氨酰环化转移酶活性。为避免γ-谷氨酰转肽酶催化的反应产生干扰,反应混合物中加入了转肽酶的特异性抑制剂氨硫脲。用比色法或放射性测定法测定时,大鼠肾脏γ-谷氨酰环化转移酶对γ-谷氨酰丙氨酸的Km值似乎相同。该检测方法是使用放射性标记底物的可靠替代方法,可用于检测各种生理和实验样品中的γ-谷氨酰环化转移酶。
