Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase in submandibular gland of the rat.
Crude extracts from submandibular glands of the rat, rabbit, guinea pig and macaque monkey contained high activities of branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase comparable to those from the heart and kidney. In each species, the isoelectric point and relative elution volume on Sephacryl of the aminotransferase from the submandibular gland had the same values as the heart enzyme. The enzyme of rat submandibular gland was partially purified; the properties of the purified enzyme suggest that it is the same type as that from the heart.
