Copurification of dihydroxyacetone-phosphate acyl-transferase and other peroxisomal proteins from liver of fenofibrate-treated rats

摘要

Dihydroxyacetone-phosphate acyl-transferase (DHAP-AT), a peroxisomal membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the first step of ether-glycerolipid synthesis, was purified from liver of rats treated with fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator. The protocol first included isolation of peroxisomes, their purification through a discontinuous gradient and solubilization of membranes in CHAPS.
