Abstract

A cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from a particulate fraction of rat brain was partially purified after solubilization with a non-ionic detergent. Influence of divalent ions, of phosphodiesterase inhibitors and of the activator protein from different sources were tested. Determination of K m-values shows two enzymes with different values, one at 7.3 μM and the other at 15 mM. Two distinct activity peaks were determined after resolution by isoelectric focusing. It was concluded that this particulate enzyme is regulated in a way opposite to that of the soluble enzyme and is independent from calcium and the activator protein.
