Abstract
THE qualitative approach provided by histochemical techniques makes it possible to localize enzyme activity in tissues. This, combined with the use of quantitative and other analytical methods such as electrophoresis, may help in tracing the origin and fate of an enzyme in the blood serum. This rationale has been applied in this study to certain proteolytic enzymes to which the names of aminopeptidase, arylamidase and aminoacyl naphthyl-amidase have been applied1–3. In this report the three names are regarded as being synonymous.
