The present relates to two ATP diphosphohydrolases ATPDase enzymes isolated from bovine aorta and pig pancreas, which enzymes have a molecular weight for their catalytic unit of about 78 and 54 Kilodaltons, respectively. A novel process for obtaining a highly purified ATPDase is also an object of the present invention. This process has been successfully applied to the purification of both the pancreatic and the aorta enzymes and is deemed to work in the purification of any ATPDase. For both sources of enzymes, the process allows the specific activity of the enzyme to be increased by at least 10,000 fold when compared to the activity retrieved in the crude cell homogenates. The novel process involves an ion exchange chromatography step, a separation on an affinity column, followed by an electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions. The two enzymes purified by this process (aortic and pancreatic) are glycosylated and, when deglycosylated, have molecular weights of about 56 and 35 Kdaltons, respectively. Other embodiments of this invention: specific antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions, are also contemplated.
