Characterization of porphobilinogen deaminase from rat liver
Porphobilinogen deaminase (porphobilinogen ammonia-lyase, EC 4.3.1.8) was isolated from rat liver. The final preparation was homogeneous according to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunodiffusion criteria. Electrophoresis of the native enzyme revealed a single band of activity which was dis...
