Tissue fractionation studies. 15. Intracellular distribution and properties of β-<i>N</i>-acetylglucos-aminidase and β-galactosidase in rat liver

Abstract

Investigations of the last few years have disclosed that mammalian tissues contain other f-glycosidases besides the well-known and widely studied f-glucuronidase. According to a recent survey by The intracellular distribution of these enzymes has not yet been studied in detail, but Pugh, Leaback & Walker (1957) have published some preliminary observations indicating that the fi-N-acetylglucosaminidase of rat kidney is partly associated with subcellular particles and can be re- leased from them by treatment in a Waring Blendor.
