Abstract
Identification and isolation of extracellular matrix vesicles were performed from an osteosarcona. They were characterized as trilaminated membrane-bound organelles with diameters ranging between 0.05 - 0.45 μm. The vesicle fraction showed remarkably high alkaline phosphatase, pyrophosphatase and K+ (EDTA) mediated ATPase activities when compared to the membrane and cellular fractions. Occurrence of K+ (EDTA) mediated ATPase indicated the presence of myosin. Electrophoretic bands, corresponding to the contractile proteins, actin and myosin, supported the findings of enzymatic assays.
