Affinity chromatography of glucose dehydrogenase

Porcine liver beta-D-glucose dehydrogenase, a multi-functional protein, has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme has been separated from the endoplasmic reticulum using Triton X-114 and further purified using NAD to release glucose dehydrogenase from a NADP-linked sepharose column. The purified enzyme is capable of producing both NADH and NADPH in vivo as indicated by kinetic studies.
