title: Purification of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from NG108-15 cells.
abstract: The phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from the membrane of NG108-15 cells has been purified to homogeneity by using DEAE Bio-Gel A agarose, hydroxyapatite, and heparin agarose chromatography. The purified phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C has been purified 422-fold and its molecular weight has been estimated to be 28,000. We have obtained a final specific activity of 3.8 mumols of phosphatidylinositol hydrolyzed/min/mg of protein. The purified enzyme is specific to phosphatidylinositol. The purified enzyme has an apparent pH optimum of 7.0. Calcium ions are required for its activity.
