Abstract:
Human liver contains hydrolytic activity toward 3 beta-glucosido-chenodeoxycholic acid. This beta-glucosidase activity, localized predominantly in the microsomal fraction, was optimally active in the presence of divalent metal ions close to pH 5.0 and was inhibited by EDTA. Kinetic parameters and other catalytic properties of hydrolytic activity towards 3 beta-glucosido-chenodeoxycholic acid from human liver microsomes are described.
