Homogeneous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from rat retina was obtained by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and AMP-hexane-Sepharose. The enzyme is a dimer of Mr congruent to 80000 and oxidizes ethanol using NAD+ as a cofactor. Careful activity determinations demonstrate unambiguously that rat retina ADH is active with retinol as a substrate. This result opens the question about the role of retina ADH in the visual cycle.
通过在DEAE-琼脂糖和AMP-己烷-琼脂糖上进行色谱分离,从大鼠视网膜中获得了均一的乙醇脱氢酶(ADH)。该酶是一种分子量约为80000的二聚体,以NAD⁺作为辅因子氧化乙醇。仔细的活性测定明确表明,大鼠视网膜ADH以视黄醇作为底物时具有活性。这一结果引发了关于视网膜ADH在视觉循环中作用的问题。
