Popis: —A hexokinase has been isolated from brain tissue on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE cellulose which is similar to yeast enzyme in stimulating the AMP-aminohydrolase activity of rat brain soluble fractions. This effect of hexokinase is influenced neither by N-acetyl-glucosamine nor noradrenaline. An isoenzyme of hexokinase isolated from brain tissue on DEAE cellulose, having properties similar to that of the muscle enzyme, has no effect on AMP-aminohydrolase activity. The activating effect of yeast hexokinase is not due to its oligomeric structure. Enzyme subunits obtained by the treatment of native yeast enzyme by urea also activate AMP-aminohydrolase of rat brain soluble fractions.
