In relation to a high activity of thiamin diphosphate (TDP) kinase (Koyama, S. et al. (1985) Biochem. Int. 11, 371-380) in the skeletal muscle of pigs and guinea pigs, the content of thiamin phosphate esters in tissues of these animals has been determined by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography. An extremely high concentration of thiamin triphosphate (TTP), 69.2% of the total thiamin (26.1 nmol/g wet weight), was detected in adult pig skeletal muscles. One extreme case contained TTP as 88.7% of the total thiamin (19.6 nmol/g wet weight). TTP in pig skeletal muscle was found solely in cytosol fraction. This is the first report showing an unusually high level of TTP in mammals and may give a clue as to the physiological functions of TTP.
鉴于猪和豚鼠骨骼肌中硫胺素二磷酸(TDP)激酶具有较高活性(小山,S.等人(1985年),《生物化学国际》11,371 - 380),已采用高效液相色谱法测定了这些动物组织中硫胺素磷酸酯的含量。在成年猪骨骼肌中检测到极高浓度的硫胺素三磷酸(TTP),占总硫胺素的69.2%(26.1纳摩尔/克湿重)。有一个极端案例中,TTP占总硫胺素的88.7%(19.6纳摩尔/克湿重)。猪骨骼肌中的TTP仅存在于胞质溶胶部分。这是首次报道哺乳动物中TTP水平异常高,可能为TTP的生理功能提供线索。
