Subcellular distribution of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity in guinea pig neocortex. 1985

M E de Quidt, and P J Richardson, and P C Emson

Neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) was enriched in synaptosomal fractions of neocortex, which on lysis yielded vesicle-rich fractions. The distribution of NPY-LI on a sucrose density gradient was similar to that of somatostatin, with a concentration in heavy vesicles. The peptides were not found in light vesicles in contrast to the distribution of noradrenaline. Both homogenate and vesicular NPY-LI coeluted with synthetic NPY on reverse-phase HPLC.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007770 L-Lactate Dehydrogenase A tetrameric enzyme that, along with the coenzyme NAD+, catalyzes the interconversion of LACTATE and PYRUVATE. In vertebrates, genes for three different subunits (LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C) exist. Lactate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, L-Lactate,Dehydrogenase, Lactate,L Lactate Dehydrogenase
D009419 Nerve Tissue Proteins Proteins, Nerve Tissue,Tissue Proteins, Nerve
D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
