Abstract

Thiamine triphosphate is hydrolyzed by a specific triphosphatase in subcellular fractions of rat brain. This enzyme differs from nucleoside triphosphatases in (1) its subcellular distribution pattern; (2) its susceptibility to inhibition by Ca2+; (3) its activation by sodium deoxycholate; (4) its failure to be affected by known inhibitors of other triphosphatases. The specific activity of the thiamine triphosphatase is as high as that of Mg2+-activated ATPase.
