Abstract
Electrophoretic and immunological studies revealed that normal and pathologically altered epidermis contains an arylamidase with the electrophoretic mobility of an x-globulin. This enzyme seems to be immunologically identical with an arylamidase secreted by the prostate gland. In psoriasis scales the arylamidase migrates with the electrophoretic mobility of a beta-globulin. Presumably, this enzyme contains fewer neuraminic acid groups than the arylamidase of normal epidermis. It may well be that in psoriasis the synthesis of arylamidase is incomplete.Entities:
