Solubilization and partial characterization of rat liver squalene epoxidase.
@article{Ono1975SolubilizationAP, title={Solubilization and partial characterization of rat liver squalene epoxidase.}, author={T. Ono and K. Bloch}, journal={The Journal of biological chemistry}, year={1975}, volume={250 4}, pages={ 1571-9 } }
The microsomal enzyme system from rat liver which catalyzes squalene epoxidation requires a supernatant protein and phospholipids (Tai, H., and Bloch, K. (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 3767). It has now been found that these two cytoplasmic components can be replaced by Triton X-100. The same detergent solubilizes the microsomal squalene epoxidase and the resulting supernatant can be separated into two components, A and B, by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Neither Fraction A nor B alone has… CONTINUE READING
