Abstract

Cat liver cystathionase was about 300-fold purified in comparison with the supernatant of the homogenate, and the characteristics were compared with those of rat. Optimum pHs for several substrates were found to be somewhat lower, and isoelectric point remarkably lower, in cat than in rat. Molecular weight of the cat liver cystathionase was about 158,000.
