title: A simple and rapid method for the purification of ovine pineal arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase.
abstract: A two-step chromatographic procedure has been developed for the purification of ovine pineal arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.87), based on the principles of disulfide exchange and anion exchange. The enzyme from 20 ovine pineal glands can be purified about 500-fold in a day; recovery is about 5%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the final preparation shows four major bands; one appears to be arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase.
