Identification and characterization of an ecto-pyrophosphatase activity in intact epimastigotes of Trypanosoma rangeli.

Identification and characterization of an ecto-pyrophosphatase activity in intact epimastigotes of Trypanosoma rangeli.

In this study, we performed the molecular and biochemical characterization of an ecto-enzyme present in Trypanosoma rangeli that is involved with the hydrolysis of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate. PCR analysis identified a putative proton-pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) in the epimastigote forms...
