The assay and partial characterization of macromolecular heparin depolymerase activity in rat small intestine
Abstract
Homogenates of rat small intestine can depolymerize macromolecular rat skin heparin (RS heparin) to products similar in size to commercial heparin [Horner (1972) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 69, 3469--3473]. This activity is attributed to an enzyme provisionally named 'macromolecular heparin depolymerase'. An assay for macromolecular heparin depolymerase activity in rat small intestine has been developed, based on the action of the enzyme on …
