Glutamine transaminase from rat brain occurred in the mitochondrial fraction, whereas the .omega.-amidase occurred in the soluble fraction. Both enzymes were also widely distributed throughout human brain tissue. Specific activities for the glutamine transaminase and .omega.-amidase in the parietal cortex of 1 individual at 5 h post mortem were 8 and 53 .mu.mol/h per g of tissue, respectively. Rat brain glutamine transaminase was identical to that of the liver mitochondrial enzyme. Improved assays for glutamine transaminase and .omega.-amidase activities in crude tissue homogenates were described. The possible physiological importance of glutamine transaminase and its potential role in the encephalopathy of hepatic disease are discussed.
