Folate deaminase [an enzyme that acts as a chemo-attractant during growth] released from cells of D. discoideum is heterogeneous with respect to MW and stability at 60.degree. C. The most heat-stable component isoelectrofocuses in a broad band at .apprx. pH 6. The Km value of this component for folate is .apprx. 7.10-7 M and MW .apprx. 40,000. The major portion if not all of the deaminase binds to immobilized concanavalin A and lentil lectin. Extracellular folate deaminase has a pH-optimum of .apprx. pH 6.0. This is higher than that of lysosomal enzymes, which are also glycoproteins released into the extracellular medium.
