When electrophoresed under denaturing condition it displayed a single polypeptide band with a molecular weight of 42 000 confirmed by exclusion chromatography and by sucrose density gradient centrifugattion. The enzyme showed a pH optimum of 7.5 both in 0.1 M sodium phosphate and 0.05 M Tris-HCl buffer, when assayed at 37°C. An isoelectric point of 4.9 for the native purified protein was found. Hepatic porphobilinogen deaminase was remarkably heat-stable showing maximum activity at 55-60°C with one break in the Arrhenius plot.
