A procedure is described for the use of immunoadsorption chromatography of hydroxyindole O‐methyltransferase (HIOMT). HIOMT was purified from bovine pineal extract by affinity chromatography on immunoglobulins (Ig)‐Sepharose. The overall purification was about 45‐fold; the yield was 84%. This enzyme constitutes about 2.0% of the soluble proteins in the pineal gland. The enzyme represented a single precipitin line on Ouchterlony double diffusion plate and immunoelectrophoresis. Ultracentrifugation analysis indicated the existence of molecular aggregates of enzyme and disc gel electrophoresis showed one main protein band and several minor bands. However sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel electrophoresis showed a single protein band with subunit molecular weight 38,000 demonstrating bovine pineal HIOMT to be polymer enzyme of a single subunit. The properties of the purified enzyme including disc gel electrophoretic pattern, the effect of pH, chemicals and substrates and immunological properties were identical with those of the crude enzyme.
