Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) isoenzymes have been studied in the serum and urine of 53 consecutive patients with various types of malignant neoplastic disease, and compared with those in a group of 23 normal controls. Statistical evaluation and clinical correlation was made of the incidence and degr

Cells of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain 69-V contain an aminopeptidase that cleaves L-leucine amide, leucylglycine or leucine hydrazide with high efficiency. Leucine 4-nitroanilide and alanine hydrazide are hydrolyzed to less than 0.1 % and 1 %, resp. of leucine amide. Grown on acetate-NH; medi
Abstract Protein metabolism after surgery in the presence of disseminated malignancy has been investigated and compared with results obtained from patients undergoing similar surgical procedures for benign disease and localized malignancy. Whole body nitrogen turnover, measured by primed continuous
HE FIRST demonstration of "leucylpepti-T dase" as a component of erepsin was made by measuring the rate of liberation of carboxyl groups from L-leucylglycine.6 However, since this substrate was hydrolyzed by enzymes other than leucylpeptidase, L-leucinamide, a more specific substrate was synthesized
