Abstract
1. The subcellular localization of dihydroxyacetone-phosphate acyltransferase (DHAPAT) (assayed in the presence of pyrophosphate) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+-dependent) activity in mouse kidney was investigated by density-gradient centrifugation. 2. DHAPAT has a predominantly peroxisomal distribution, and the activity in purified peroxisomes is stimulated by various organic and inorganic phosphate-containing compounds. The pH optimum is acid. 3. Approx. 10% of the cellular NADP+-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is associated with peroxisomal fractions and may provide a source of NADPH for the peroxisomal reduction of acyl-dihydroxyacetone phosphate formed by DHAPAT activity.Entities:
