Abstract
Guanylate cyclase of human platelets was separated from cyclic nucleotide and GTP hydrolytic activities with a 104-fold purification over the homogenate. The purified guanylate cyclase preparation requires neither the GTP regenerating system nor cyclic GMP but is stimulated by about 2-fold by 2.5 mM cyclic GMP. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated as 180,000 and the Km value for GTP was 95 μM. Arachidonic acid peroxide stimulated the purified enzyme by increasing maximum velocity without changing Km value.
