Aspartic acid mucosa

The primary structure of rat lysozyme has been determined and compared with those of human and other mammalian lysozymes. Lysozyme activity has been detected in the gastric mucosa of a prosimian mammal Perodicticus potto) The dependence on pH of the binding of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose and methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-a- and -P-D-glucopyranosides to turkey and hen egg-white lysozymes has been examined with the aid of c.d. measurements. The similarity of the pH-dependence curves suggested that aspartic acid-48, as well as aspartic acid-66 and -52 and glutamic acid-35, is perturbed on binding a monomer. 

The mucosa of the small intestine metabolizes dietary glutamine, glutamate, asparagine, and aspartate by oxidation to CO2 and H2O, or by conversion to lactate, alanine, citrulline, and NH3. These intermediates and the unmetabolized dietary amino acids are transferred to the portal blood and then to the liver for further metabolism.
