Comparative studies on oestrogen-induced rat uterus peroxidase and rat eosinophil peroxidase

Ragner L Olsen 1, Clive Little 1
PMCID: PMC1153907  PMID: 6299274

Abstract

Rat eosinophil peroxidase and rat uterine peroxidase II showed similar electrophoretic mobilities, molecular weights, specific activities and spectral properties and could be purified by essentially identical techniques. Antibodies raised against the uterine enzyme strongly inhibited the eosinophil enzyme. It is suggested that rat eosinophil peroxidase and rat uterine peroxidase II may well be one and the same enzyme.
