| Abstract: | Rat submandibular kallikrein was isolated in an 87% yield by a very quick and simple procedure involving hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Furthermore, that purification method was superior to both aprotinin-affinity chromatography and immunoaffinity chromatography for the purification of rat submandibular kallikrein. The kallikrein purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography consisted of a number of isoenzymes. The major component of Mr 38,000 seen on SDS-gel electrophoresis was found to be the glycosylated kallikrein, whereas the minor component of Mr 26,000 represented the non-glycosylated enzyme. |
