Trieff NM, Ficklen D, Gan J: In vitro inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from human red blood cells by acrolein: a possible biomarker of exposure. Toxicol Lett. 1993 Aug;69(2):121-7.
We have investigated the possibility of utilizing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) as a macromolecular (biological) marker of acrolein exposure. The result showed a dose-dependent inactivation of the erythrocyte G6PD in situ or as a purified enzyme from human erythrocytes or yeast. Amino acid analysis on the chemically modified yeast G6PD showed a formation of a lysine adduct which is probably linked to the inactivation. |
