Abstract
The distribution of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) phosphorylase in 10 pig brain areas was determined. The observed regional differences of the enzymatic activity seem to reflect more the pattern of brain spermine distribution rather than that of spermidine. Moreover, comparative studies on the heat-resistance of MTA phosphorylase extracted from the whole brain of various species suggest structural differences in the enzyme molecules occurring in the brains of different animals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
