Abstract

1. The distribution of L-alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) activities were found in Suncus liver, 55% in particulate fraction and 45% in supernatant. 2. 65% of AGT activities in particulate were dependent on AGT isoenzyme 2 (AGT 2) having molecular weight 210,000, the remainder (35%) of AGT activities were dependent on AGT isoenzyme 1 (AGT 1) which have aminotransferase activity for serine. AGT activities in supernatant were dependent on AGT 1, AGT 2 and alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (GPT), and their activity ratios were 10, 15 and 75%, respectively. 3. Km values for alanine were 0.52 mM; AGT 1, 3.3 mM; AGT 2, 0.88 mM; GPT measuring with AGT activity. AGT activity of GPT was inhibited by addition of glutamate and its Ki value was 1.8 mM. 4. Some other properties of AGT 1, AGT 2 and GPT are described.
