Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
cDNA for heavy subunit expressed in Escherichia coli Rattus norvegicus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
gamma-Glu-2-aminobutanoyl-Gly i.e. ophthalmic acid, inhibits only slightly, but inhibits much more after treatment of the holoenzyme with DTT, the recombinant and isolated heavy subunit enzyme is substantially inhibited without DTT Rattus norvegicus
