  • Title: Acquired enzymopathy of erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in acute viral hepatitis.
    Author: Kwiatkowska J, Kwiatkowska D, Andrzejak R, Zatoński W.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1978 Feb 01; 83(1-2):75-9. PubMed ID: 23232.
    Abstract:
    Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from patients with acute viral hepatitis has been purified and characterized. The enzyme showed decreased activity (relative to protein), reduced affinity for glucose 6-phosphate and was inactivated at 45 degrees C or at low pH values. The activity and properties of normal erythrocyte enzyme, incubated in vitro with blood plasma of patients, showed a similar pattern of modifications. Incubation with bilirubin affected the enzyme stability, but not its activity or affinity for substrate.
