Changes in kidney transaminase activity during development in male and female rats.
The developmental changes in the activity of kidney transamidinase in male and female rats were investigated. The activity in both sexes increased rapidly after birth, reaching adult levels at 4 days of age. After weaning, the activity in male rats remained constant, while in female rats it declined to 60% of that in males. Thus, transamidinase is in the neonatal cluster of enzyme differentiation.
