摘要
An assay procedure for diacylglycerol acyltransferase that allows rapid measurement of the activity of this enzyme in isolated hepatocytes is described. The one-step procedure involves permeabilization of the plasma membrane with digitonin and simultaneous measurement of diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity. Digitonin at a concentration of 64 mug/mg of cellular protein was found to be optimal for exposing microsomal diacylglycerol acyltransferase to the components of the assay. The enzyme assay is linear with time up to 4 min and with protein concentrations in the range 0.25-2.4 mg of cellular protein/assay. It is shown that there is a good correlation of cellular enzyme activity as determined in digitonin-permeabilized hepatocytes with the rate of triacylglycerol synthesis in intact hepatocytes.
