Two methods have been employed to localize monoamine oxidase activity in the cells of rat liver, using either 2-(2'-benzothiazolyl)-5-stryl-3-(4'-phtalhydrazidyl) tetrazolium chloride (BSPT) or ferricyanide as electron acceptor. With both methods monoamine oxidase activity was found both in the inner and the outer mitochondral membrane, although the outer membrane appeared the most probable location. In addition the BSPT method but not the ferricyanide method, revealed monoamine oxidase activity in the endoplasmatic reticulum. The results obtained by the two methods have been compared and are discussed in view of available biochemical data on monoamine oxidase.
已采用两种方法来定位大鼠肝脏细胞中的单胺氧化酶活性,一种方法是使用2 -(2'-苯并噻唑基)-5 - 苯乙烯基-3 -(4'-邻苯二甲酰肼基)四唑氯化物(BSPT),另一种方法是使用铁氰化物作为电子受体。两种方法均发现线粒体内膜和外膜都存在单胺氧化酶活性,不过外膜似乎是最可能的位置。此外,BSPT法而非铁氰化物法显示内质网中存在单胺氧化酶活性。已对两种方法获得的结果进行了比较,并根据有关单胺氧化酶的现有生化数据进行了讨论。
