Molecular forms of cobalt-activated acylase in human tissues and serum of patients with viral hepatitis.
Two molecular forms of cobalt-activated acylase present in human tissues and one or three in sera of patients with viral hepatitis were noted. They have different substrate specificity. Only form 2 is strongly inhibited by alpha-hydroxyisocaproyl-tyrosine and -phenylalanine. Electrophoretic migrations of all enzyme forms are different from those of aminoacylase. Immunoglobulin antiform 2 of the acylase does not precipitate other forms of cobalt-activated acylase or aminoacylase.
