title: Subunits of sterol sulphate sulphohydrolase from human placenta microsomes.
abstract: A procedure for separation of the catalytic and regulatory subunits of sterol sulphate sulphohydrolase from human placenta microsomes with the use of Concanavalin A-Sepharose chromatography is presented. The Km value for the catalytic subunit with oestrone sulphate is 1.2 x 10(-5) M. The Hill coefficient value h, for the reconstituted enzyme complex is 3, the S0.5 = 0.68 x 10(-3) M and the value of Km is 0.31 x 10(-12) M. The regulatory subunit is trypsin sensitive, while the catalytic one is resistant to trypsin digestion.
