Institute of Anatomy, Medical Academy Magdeburg, Czechoslovakia.

The immunolocalization of thiol: protein disulfide oxidoreductase (TPO) in CNS of Wistar rats and homozygous Brattleboro rats was investigated by use of monospecific antiserum and Sternberger's unlabelled immunoenzyme technique. It was revealed that TPO is present in hypothalamic neurons belonging to nucleus supraopticus and paraventricularis. The number of immunopositive nerve cells was reduced in Brattleboro rats as compared to Wistar rats. It was concluded that TPO must have tasks in CNS unrelated to the management of vasopressin production and/or processing.

D009474	Neurons	The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM.	Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D010088	Oxidoreductases	The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9)	Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D011490	Protein Disulfide Reductase (Glutathione)	An enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of a protein-disulfide in the presence of glutathione, forming a protein-dithiol. Insulin is one of its substrates. EC 1.8.4.2.
