title: [Soluble and membrane-bound neutral alpha-glucosidase from the human kidney].
abstract: In human kidney cortex neutral alpha-glucosidases 1 and 2 are represented by two forms, soluble (cytosolic) and membrane-bound (brush border) ones. It has been shown that the soluble enzyme preexists in human kidney but does not derive from the membrane-bound form. Similar to the membrane-bound enzyme the soluble form is a glycoprotein. Both enzyme forms possess identical electrophoretic mobility, pH-optimum, heat sensibility and Km values for maltose (0.7 mM) and 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (0.57 mM), but differ by molecular weights as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weights of the soluble neutral alpha-glucosidases 1 and 2 are lower than those of the comparable brush border enzymes (470 000, 360 000, 520 000 and 440 000, correspondingly). Neutral membrane-bound alpha-glucosidase 1 is a sialylated enzyme with a pI of 4.10 +/- 0.02. The soluble enzyme contains no or only traces of neuraminic acid and has a pI 4.40 +/- 0.03. The soluble and membrane-bound neutral alpha-glucosidases are apparently independent forms of the enzyme, differing by the degree of sialylation and by the presence of an "anchor" in the membrane-bound enzyme. The synthesis of both forms is presumably coded by the same structural gene.
