Purification and Characterization of a Carbonyl Reductase from Human Liver, which is Competent in the Reduction of 6-Pyruvoyl-Tetrahydropterin

An enzyme which reduces 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin has been purified to apparent homogeneity from human liver. It consists of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 35 kDa, has an isoelectric point of 5.9 ± 0.1 and contains no glycosyl residues. The pure enzyme has a specific activit...
