title: Metabolism of 4-hydroxy-2,3-pentene-1-al in submitochondrial fractions of mouse liver.
abstract: The location of the enzymic system involved in the metabolism of 4-hydroxy-2-3-pentene-1-al (HPE) in the livers of female mice (CBA/CA) has been established. All mitochondrial membranes showed some activity with slightly higher metabolism in the matrix. The enzymic system had a pH optimum of 8.8 using pyrophosphate buffer. Suitable marker enzymes were used to test the contamination of the different submitochondrial fractions with each other.
