Intraperoxisomal form of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase in the peroxisomes of bird kidney.

Abstract:

:Alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase has been reported to be present as the apo form in the peroxisomes and as the holo form in the mitochondria in chicken kidney. In contrast, the enzyme was found to be present as the holo form both in the peroxisomes and in the mitochondria in pigeon kidney, suggesting that birds are classified into two groups on the basis of intraperoxisomal form of kidney alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase. In the kidney, the pigeon peroxisomal holo enzyme did not cross-react immunologically with the chicken peroxisomal apo enzyme.
