Abstract
The RNase present in a number of human tissues, including heart, brain, lung and kidney, were purified, partially characterized and compared in their properties to the previously described RNases from human liver, spleen, pancreas and serum. The enzymes appeared to fall into 2 major classes: liver-spleen type RNase and plasma-type RNase. These 2 types of enzymes were present in varying proportions in all tissues examined. The extent to which the tissues studied possibly contribute to serum RNase levels is discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
