Bone Lysozyme : Partial Purification, Properties and Depression of Activity by Parathyroid Extract

Nature volume 210, pages 413–414 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

DURING an investigation of the metabolism of bone, high levels of lysozyme activity were found which could be markedly decreased by parathyroid extract, an agent known to induce fundamental changes in this tissue1. It was also observed that parathyroid extract caused the lysozyme content of other tissues to change. This report details these findings and describes a partial purification of the bone enzyme.
