    • Steady-state kinetic analysis at 37°C.

    Main Results:

    • The enzyme was successfully isolated from the endoplasmic reticulum.
    • Purified enzyme contained 1.7% lipid material, including various lipids.
    • The enzyme demonstrated a tetrameric structure with numerous hydrophobic residues.
    • Kinetic analysis indicated the enzyme's ability to process both beta-D-glucose and alpha-D-glucose-6-phosphate in vivo.

    Conclusions:

    • Porcine liver beta-D-glucose dehydrogenase is a lipid-associated tetrameric enzyme.
    • The enzyme exhibits significant in vivo activity with both beta-D-glucose and alpha-D-glucose-6-phosphate.
