Carboxypeptidase E (CPE): immunocytochemical localization in the rat central nervous system and pituitary gland.
Carboxypeptidase E (CPE, enkephalin convertase, carboxypeptidase H; EC 3.4.17.10) is a carboxypeptidase B-like enzyme proposed to be involved in the synthesis of a variety of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. In the present study we have localized CPE in the rat central nervous system using specific polyclonal antisera to the purified enzyme. Immunoreactive CPE occurs in a variety of cell...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical studies of actin localization in the central nervous system.
The contractile protein, actin, is a major component of the central nervous system (CNS). Its accumulation at presynaptic and postsynaptic sites has been suggested by biochemical and ultrastructural studies. The present work examines directly the distribution of actin within the CNS by immunocytochemical means. Sections of rat CNS were stained with an antiserum against chicken gizzard actin, us...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of aspartoacylase in the rat central nervous system.
Aspartoacylase (ASPA; EC 3.5.1.15) catalyzes deacetylation of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) to generate free acetate in the central nervous system (CNS). Mutations in the gene coding ASPA cause Canavan disease (CD), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease that results in death before 10 years of age. The pathogenesis of CD remains unclear. Our working hypothesis is that deficiency in the sup...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملNeurotensin: immunohistochemical localization in rat central nervous system.
Neurotensin immunofluorescence was examined in the rat central nervous system using a well-characterized antiserum directed against this tridecapeptide. Morphological characteristics of the fluorescence indicate its association with neuronal cell bodies and processes in the brain and with cells of the anterior pituitary. Fluorescence is seen in many brain areas, with notable densities in the su...
