Xanthine dehydrogenase activity in the clawed frog, Xenopus laevis.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH; EC 1.2.1.37) activity in the clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, was detected in kidney tissue homogenates, but not in skin, liver, ovaries or gut tissues. The enzyme migrated as a single band of activity on both polyacrylamide and starch gel electropherograms, exhibited substrate inhibition, and did not appear developmentally until feeding larval stages. The tissue specificity, post-fertilization stage of appearance and single isozymic form make this a useful enzyme marker for further study concerning its developmental appearance and maintenance as a kidney-specific protein.
