Protection by glycerol of urinary L-alanine aminopeptidase activity from freezing and thawing inactivation.
L-Alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activities in urine are sensitive indicators of renal damage. However, urinary AAP loses its activity during storage in the frozen state. This study proposes a method for preventing the inactivation of AAP by adding glycerol to a final concentration of 10% to a urine sample before freezing and thawing. This study also showed that NAG is stable to freezing and thawing and is not affected by addition of glycerol.
