Purification and partial sequence analysis of the soluble catechol-o-methyltransferase from human placenta : Comparison to the rat liver enzyme

Tilgmann, Carola LU orcid and Kalkkinen, Nisse (1991) In Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 174(2). p.995-1002
Abstract

Catechol-o-methyltransferase from human placenta was purified 1400-fold by hydroxyapatite adsorption, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, high performance anion- exchange and reversed-phase chromatography. The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 26.000, an isoelectric point of 5,3 and is activated ten-fold in the presence of 20mM cysteine. The enzyme shows primary structure homology to the corresponding rat liver soluble enzyme, based on the sequenced tryptic peptides.
