| Abstract: | The subcellular distribution of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase in chicken kidney was examined by centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. The enzyme was found to be present as the apoform in the peroxisomes and as the holoform in the mitochondria. Alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase in different mammalian kidneys were all present as the holoenzyme in the mitochondrial and soluble fractions. |
