Alkaline Pretense Activity of the Tissue Extracts from Some Different Kinds of Fish

어류의 조직중에 분포하는 알카리성 단백질분해효소의 활성조건

To check the differences of the digestive enzymes by the bait habits and the proteolytic activities of the fissile extracts from the fish, omnivorous filefish (Navodon modestus), carnivorous cat shark (Scilliorhinus tarazame) and bloodsucking hag fish (Eptatretus burgeri) were sampled for this experiment. The activity of crude alkaline protease extracted from the muscle and the internal organs of the samples was determined with casein as substrate. The activity of the proteolytic enzymes showed remarkable differences by the organs of the fish. The optimum condition of the pretenses from the muscle revealed in range of pH 7.8-8.3, at $60-65^{\circ}C$, while those of the enzymes from the internal organs were at about pH 8.2, $45-55^{\circ}C$, but those of hag fish were at about pH 6.7, $45-55^{\circ}C$. The proteolytic activity of the enzyme of alimentary canal in filefish and in hag fish was 57 and 11 times stronger than that of muscle, respectively. The crude enzyme from the alimentary canal of file fish showed the strongest proteolytic activity in samples submitted and that of cat shark was the lowest. The activity of pancreatic alkaline protease in cat shark was 50 fold higher than that of muscle alkaline protease in the fish.
