Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
Endocannabinoids (endogenous ligands of cannabinoid receptors) such as anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) are inactivated upon enzymatic hydrolysis. Recent progress in the enzymological and molecular biological studies on the 'endocannabinoid hydrolases' is reviewed in this article.

Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002
The leukotrienes (LTs) are a family of lipid mediators involved in inflammation and allergy. Leukotriene B4 is a classical chemoattractant, which triggers adherence and aggregation of leukocytes to the endothelium at only nanomolar concentrations.

Extracellular hydrolases of the lung
Biochemistry, 1978A pool of acid hydrolases exists within the acellular lining material of the alveoli and distal airways of the lungs. These extracellular hydrolases, obtained using pulmonary lavage procedures, appear to be of a selected variety insofar as some hydrolases (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and alpha-mannosidase) are highly active while others (beta ...

ADP-ribosylarginine hydrolases
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1994ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification of proteins involving the addition of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to an acceptor protein or amino acid. NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase, purified from numerous animal tissues, catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose to an arginine residue in proteins.

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 1988
Epoxide hydrolase activity is recovered in the high-speed supernatant fraction from the liver of all mammals so far examined, including man. For some as yet unexplained reason, the rat has a very low level of this activity, so that cytosolic epoxide hydrolase is generally studied in mice.

Identification of oxidized protein hydrolase of human erythrocytes as acylpeptide hydrolase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000Partial amino acid sequence of 80 kDa oxidized protein hydrolase (OPH), a serine protease present in human erythrocyte cytosol (Fujino et al., J. Biochem. 124 (1998) 1077-1085) that is adherent to oxidized erythrocyte membranes and preferentially degrades oxidatively damaged proteins (Beppu et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1196 (1994) 81-87; Fujino et al.

Endo-Xylogalacturonan Hydrolase
2003Commercial pectinases used in apple juice manufacturing contain a mixture of pectin-degrading enzyme activities. Nevertheless, fragments of branched pectic molecules (or pectic hairy regions) are resistant to degradation, and can cause membrane fouling in the final ultrafiltration step of concentrated apple juice.

The Nudix hydrolase superfamily
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 2005Nudix hydrolases are found in all classes of organism and hydrolyse a wide range of organic pyrophosphates, including nucleoside di- and triphosphates, dinucleoside and diphosphoinositol polyphosphates, nucleotide sugars and RNA caps, with varying degrees of substrate specificity.

Dimetallic hydrolases and their models
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2000Recent mechanistic studies of Fe3+/M2+ purple acid phosphatase present conflicting pictures about the roles of the metals. Recent model studies with Co3+/Co3+ and Fe3+/Fe3+ complexes have supported each conflicting mechanism for phosphate hydrolysis.

Lysosomal hydrolases of the epidermis. 2. Ester hydrolases.
The British journal of dermatology, 1976Five distinct ester hydrolases (EC 3-1) have been characterized in guinea-pig epidermis. These are carboxylic esterase, acid phosphatase, pyrophosphatase, and arylsulphatase A and B. Their properties are consistent with those of lysosomal enzymes.
