Abstract
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase of rat liver microsomes was purified approximately to 97-fold with a 30% yield by procedures including affinity chromatography on chimyl alcohol-Sepharose 4B. Chimyl alcohol (1-O-hexadecylglycerol) was converted to the p-aminobenzylidene derivative and then coupled to 6-carboxyhexyl-Sepharose. The final enzyme preparation was in nearly a homogeneous state, judging from the results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, and it migrated to a position corresponding to an apparent molecular weight of 45,000. The results revealed that the native form of the enzyme (estimated to have a molecular weight of 400,000 as judged by Sepharose 6B column chromatography in a previous report, Ishibashi, T., and Y. Imai. 1983. Eur. J. Biochem. 132: 23-27) will polymerize to large aggregates.
