title: Inhibitory effect of oxidized glutathione on heart ornithine decarboxylase activity.
abstract: Cardiac ODC was prepared from rats after the injection of isoproterenol and was partially purified by thiol-affinity chromatography. This enzymatic preparation incubated with GSSG was inactivated in a concentration dependent process. The inactivated enzyme could be reactivated by the addition of various reducing compounds, including GSH. Kinetic studies on GSSG-inactivated ODC revealed that the enzyme was inhibited by a partially-non competitive mechanism.
