ISOENZYMES OF WHEAT GERM NAPHTHYLAMIDASE

Wheat Germ Agglutinin

Procedures for the isolation, purification, and crystallization of wheat germ agglutinin are described. The agglutinin was purified 184-fold to homogeneity from commercial wheat germ lipase. A molecular weight of 23,500 was estimated for the protein by means of sedimentation equilibrium and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The agghxtinin is a glycoprotein. Amino acid and carbohydrate...

Wheat-germ agglutinin method for measuring bone and liver isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase assessed in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

In the method of Rosalki and Foo (Clin Chem 1984;30:1182-6) bone and liver isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) are quantified by using wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA). I suggest standardizing the procedure by using a WGA concentration that precipitates half of the alkaline phosphatase activity of serum pooled from an equal number of healthy women and men. By applying knowledge of the pr...
