Abstract
The human horny layer contains insoluble arginase, which is tied to keratinic cells, with an activity of about 1 mU/cm2 skinsurface. About 50 p.c. of arginase is inhibited by water soluble substances of horny layer or by using soaps and syndets. By washing the skinsurface with water the activity increases. Presumable the horny layer arginase has a function in the urea production of sweat. Die menschliche Hornschicht enthält Arginase in unlöslicher Form, an Keratinzellen gebunden, mit einer Aktivität von etwa 1 mU/cm2 Hautoberfläche. Die Arginase ist zu etwa 50%, teils durch wasserlösliche Inhaltsstoffe der Hornschicht, teils durch Umgang mit Seifen und Syndets, gehemmt. Durch Bespülung der Hautoberfläche mit Wasser erfolgt Aktivierung. Es wird vermutet, daß die Hornschichtarginase an der Harnstoffproduktion des Schweißes beteiligt ist.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
