title: Partial purification of rat liver microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase on hydroxylapatite.
abstract: Glucose-6-phosphatase was effectively solubilized from rat liver-microsomal membrane by the nonionic detergent Renex 690 in the presence of 0.6M sodium chloride. Subsequent separation on hydroxylapatite proved to be a successful and rapid initial step towards the purification of this enzyme. Glucose-6-phosphatase appeared in the colourless void volume with a yield of about 40-50%. The specific activity in the pooled void volume was 3-4 U/mg protein representing an enrichment of 30- to 40-fold. The best final specific activity obtained in an enriched fraction was 6.7 U/mg protein. Analysis of the pooled glucose-6-phosphatase-enriched fraction by SDS electrophoresis revealed 2 dominant protein bands with the apparent molecular mass of 17 and 18.5 kDa and few weak protein bands in the range of 21 to 42 kDa.
