β¦ Synopsis
An indirect, competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitation of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I (ammonia) in rat liver has been developed. Homogenization of the liver in 1% sodium deoxycholate is used for complete solubilization of the enzyme. The detergent does not interfere with the method if diluted to a concentration of 0.01% or lower. The assay is applied to determine the amount of enzyme in control rats and in rats fed "cafeteria" or high-protein diets. Changes in the amount of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I (ammonia) paralleled changes in enzymatic activity.

## Abstract A method has been developed to establish the degree of crossβreactivity of an antiserum raised against purified carbamoylβphosphate synthase (ammonia) from adult rat liver, toward a homologous enzyme from another species without purification of the latter enzyme. For that purpose the ra
The most striking phenomenon of glutamine synthetase (GS) expression in the liver is its unique restriction to cells surrounding the terminal hepatic venules. Expression is positively regulated by elements located in the 5'-upstream region and in the first intron of the gene. It was long believed th
