Abstract:
:To help clarify bases for the molecular weight and surface charge heterogeneities of forms of somatic angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), we examined for differences in N-glycosylation. ACE preparations purified from human, guinea pig, rat and rabbit tissues were found to be heterogeneous in terms of numbers of N-glycosylated sites (7-8 sites per molecule of ACE) and in types of structures of oligosaccharides used for glycosylation (complex versus high mannose oligosaccharide contents). Our findings, taken with reports of potential N-glycosylation sites and amino acid sequencing data, indicate that ACE forms can differ in terms of degrees of glycosylation, sites of glycosylation and structures of attached oligosaccharide units.
