A method was described for separation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP) isoenzymes by cellulose acetate membrane (Cellogel). Enzyme activity staining was carried out by use of γ-L-glutamyl-α-naphthylamide as substrate and fast blue B as color developing agent. Zymogram on Cellogel membrane was treated with 5% trichloroacetic acid solution and applied for densitometry.
The conditions for this method (concentration of substrate, diazo reagent, glycylglycine, pH of buffer, incubation time, etc.) were examined and optimal conditions were proposed.
This method was simple and sensitive enough to detect γ-GTP isoenzyme patterns from the normal serum containing 30mU/ml activity. Linear relationship between color development of zymogram and enzyme activity was also obtained from 30mU/ml to 230mU/ml in serum sample and this method, therefore, was available for the routine work as semi-quantitative method.
