In the present study, we examined the ontogeny of ATP and ADP hydrolysis by cerebral cortex synaptosomes from rats of various ages (0-, 7-, 14-, 21- and 60 to 90-day-old rats) in order to learn whether hydrolytic activity increases during the period of intense brain growth, as has been reported for other enzymes involved in neurotransmitter metabolism. The results demonstrate that ATP and ADP hydrolyzing activities increase in parallel from birth until the second postnatal week (about 4-fold), followed by a slight and statistically insignificant increase until the animal reaches adulthood. The maximum increase in nucleotide hydrolysis coincided with maximum brain growth, which may indicate a role for the enzyme in neurotransmission. Furthermore, the parallel development of both activities (ATPase and ADPase) strongly suggest that a single enzyme, an ATP diphosphohydrolase, is involved in ATP and ADP hydrolysis by the synaptosomal fraction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
